nale mere jab tak mere kaam aate rahenge
naale mire jab tak mire kaam aate raheñge
ai zauq-e-nazar vo lab-e-bām aate raheñge
ai zauq-e-talab tū jo salāmat hai to kyā ġham
lab tak mire ḳhud jaam pe jaam aate raheñge
dil zinda agar ho to phir ai ziist ke tālib
har gaam pe jiine ke payām aate raheñge
manzil kī tamannā hai to Thukrā ke nikal jā
sayyād liye dāna-o-dām aate raheñge
khā jaao na dhokā kahīñ manzil ke gumāñ par
raste meñ kuchh aise bhī maqām aate raheñge
'aḳhtar' agar ābād rahe gul-kada-e-dil!
phir is meñ to kuchh mast ḳhirām aate raheñge
nale mere jab tak mere kaam aate rahenge
ai zauq-e-nazar wo lab-e-baam aate rahenge
ai zauq-e-talab tu jo salamat hai to kya gham
lab tak mere KHud jam pe jam aate rahenge
dil zinda agar ho to phir ai zist ke talib
har gam pe jine ke payam aate rahenge
manzil ki tamanna hai to Thukra ke nikal ja
sayyaad liye dana-o-dam aate rahenge
kha jao na dhoka kahin manzil ke guman par
raste mein kuchh aise bhi maqam aate rahenge
'aKHtar' agar aabaad rahe gul-kada-e-dil!
phir is mein to kuchh mast KHiram aate rahenge
