lahu mein Dubta manzar KHilaf rahta hai

lahū meñ Dūbtā manzar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

amīr-e-shahr kā ḳhanjar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

yazīd-e-vaqt ko duniyā qubūl kar le magar

sināñ kī nok pe ik sar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

sulagtī pyaas ne kar lī hai morcha-bañdī

isī ḳhatā pe samundar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

mire usuul ke bachche bhī ehtajājī haiñ

zarā jhukūñ to mirā ghar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

maiñ chāhtā huuñ ki dushman ko surḳh-rū kar duuñ

magar safed kabūtar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

hai e'timād mujhe phāvḌoñ kī tāqat par

bas itnī baat se patthar ḳhilāf rahtā hai

ajab tarah kī tabī.at milī hai ḳhud-sar ko

ki do jahān se 'akbar' ḳhilāf rahtā hai

lahu mein Dubta manzar KHilaf rahta hai

amir-e-shahr ka KHanjar KHilaf rahta hai

yazid-e-waqt ko duniya qubul kar le magar

sinan ki nok pe ek sar KHilaf rahta hai

sulagti pyas ne kar li hai morcha-bandi

isi KHata pe samundar KHilaf rahta hai

mere usul ke bachche bhi ehtajaji hain

zara jhukun to mera ghar KHilaf rahta hai

main chahta hun ki dushman ko surKH-ru kar dun

magar safed kabutar KHilaf rahta hai

hai e'timad mujhe phawDon ki taqat par

bas itni baat se patthar KHilaf rahta hai

ajab tarah ki tabiat mili hai KHud-sar ko

ki do jahan se 'akbar' KHilaf rahta hai
