nam akbar to mera man ki dua ne rakkha
naam 'akbar' to mirā maañ kī duā ne rakkhā
haañ bharam us kā magar mere ḳhudā ne rakkhā
vo bhī din thā ki tire aane kā paiġhām aayā
tab mire ghar meñ qadam bād-e-sabā ne rakkhā
kis tarah logoñ ne māñgīñ thiiñ duā.eñ us kī
kuchh lihāz is kā na be-mehr havā ne rakkhā
aise hālāt meñ ik roz na jī sakte the
ham ko zinda tire paimān-e-vafā ne rakkhā
ittifāqāt ke pīchhe bhī haiñ asbāb-o-ilal
ik na ik apnā sabab dast-e-qazā ne rakkhā
jis ne rakkhā tirī miTtī huī qadroñ kā lihāz
kuchh ḳhayāl is kā nahīñ tū ne zamāne rakkhā
sirf 'akbar' hī nahīñ dekh ke tasvīr huā
sab ko hairāñ tire naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā ne rakkhā
nam 'akbar' to mera man ki dua ne rakkha
han bharam us ka magar mere KHuda ne rakkha
wo bhi din tha ki tere aane ka paigham aaya
tab mere ghar mein qadam baad-e-saba ne rakkha
kis tarah logon ne mangin thin duaen us ki
kuchh lihaz is ka na be-mehr hawa ne rakkha
aise haalat mein ek roz na ji sakte the
hum ko zinda tere paiman-e-wafa ne rakkha
ittifaqat ke pichhe bhi hain asbab-o-ilal
ek na ek apna sabab dast-e-qaza ne rakkha
jis ne rakkha teri miTti hui qadron ka lihaz
kuchh KHayal is ka nahin tu ne zamane rakkha
sirf 'akbar' hi nahin dekh ke taswir hua
sab ko hairan tere naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ne rakkha
