KHushk kheti hai magar usko hari kahte hain
ḳhushk khetī hai magar us ko harī kahte haiñ
kam-nigāhī ko bhī vo dīda-varī kahte haiñ
fikr-e-raushan ko vo shorīda-sarī kahte haiñ
yaanī sūraj ko charāġh-e-saharī kahte haiñ
jo tire dar se uThā phir vo kahīñ kā na rahā
us kī qismat meñ rahī dar-badrī kahte haiñ
kitnī be-rahm hai fitrat unheñ mālūm nahīñ
jo use kārgah-e-shīshagarī kahte haiñ
husn ke baab meñ 'akbar' kī sanad kaafī hai
ham bhī har ik but-e-kamsin ko parī kahte haiñ
rūh-e-sayyad pe ḳhudā jaane guzar jā.egī kyā
aam alī-gaḌh meñ huī kam-nazarī kahte haiñ
KHushk kheti hai magar us ko hari kahte hain
kam-nigahi ko bhi wo dida-wari kahte hain
fikr-e-raushan ko wo shorida-sari kahte hain
yani suraj ko charagh-e-sahari kahte hain
jo tere dar se uTha phir wo kahin ka na raha
us ki qismat mein rahi dar-badri kahte hain
kitni be-rahm hai fitrat unhen malum nahin
jo use kargah-e-shishagari kahte hain
husn ke bab mein 'akbar' ki sanad kafi hai
hum bhi har ek but-e-kamsin ko pari kahte hain
ruh-e-sayyad pe KHuda jaane guzar jaegi kya
aam ali-gaDh mein hui kam-nazari kahte hain
