nayab hai sukun dil-e-be-qarar mein
nāyāb hai sukūn dil-e-be-qarār meñ
bismil kī hai taḌap mire kunj-e-mazār meñ
gulzār-e-dahr meñ chaman-e-be-ḳhizāñ huuñ maiñ
laale kā rañg hai jigar-e-dāġh-dār meñ
kāñTā milā hai guuñj kā zulfoñ kā jaal hai
baalī kī machhlī haath lagī hai shikār meñ
nau laakh kī jabhī huī qīmat use nasīb
motī the mere ābloñ ke un ke haar meñ
ayyām-e-aish meñ ruḳh-e-daulat se hai alag
afsos par hamāre kaTe haiñ bahār meñ
jab se uḌī hai ḳhāk-e-alam rashk-e-māhtāb
ik āsmān aur hai mere ġhubār meñ
dhoī huī hai duudh se terī zabān-e-sāf
'aḳhtar' tū hī hai shā.iroñ ke e'tibār meñ
nayab hai sukun dil-e-be-qarar mein
bismil ki hai taDap mere kunj-e-mazar mein
gulzar-e-dahr mein chaman-e-be-KHizan hun main
lale ka rang hai jigar-e-dagh-dar mein
kanTa mila hai gunj ka zulfon ka jal hai
baali ki machhli hath lagi hai shikar mein
nau lakh ki jabhi hui qimat use nasib
moti the mere aablon ke un ke haar mein
ayyam-e-aish mein ruKH-e-daulat se hai alag
afsos par hamare kaTe hain bahaar mein
jab se uDi hai KHak-e-alam rashk-e-mahtab
ek aasman aur hai mere ghubar mein
dhoi hui hai dudh se teri zaban-e-saf
'aKHtar' tu hi hai shairon ke e'tibar mein
