nai tahzib se saqi ne aisi garm-joshi ki

na.ī tahzīb se saaqī ne aisī garm-joshī kī

ki āḳhir muslimoñ meñ ruuh phūñkī bāda-noshī kī

tumhārī policy kā haal kuchh khultā nahīñ sāhab

hamārī policy to saaf hai īmāñ-faroshī kī

chhupāne ke evaz chhapvā rahe haiñ ḳhud vo aib apne

nasīhat kyā karūñ maiñ qaum ko ab aib-poshī kī

pahanñe ko to kapḌe hī na the kyā bazm meñ jaate

ḳhushī ghar baiThe kar lī ham ne jashn-e-tāj-poshī kī

shikast-e-rañg-e-maz.hab kā asar dekheñ na.e murshid

musalmānoñ meñ kasrat ho rahī hai bāda-noshī kī

re.āyā ko munāsib hai ki bāham dostī rakkheñ

himāqat hākimoñ se hai tavaqqo.a garm-joshī kī

hamāre qāfiye to ho ga.e sab ḳhatm ai 'akbar'

laqab apnā jo de deñ mehrbānī hai ye joshī kī

nai tahzib se saqi ne aisi garm-joshi ki

ki aaKHir muslimon mein ruh phunki baada-noshi ki

tumhaari policy ka haal kuchh khulta nahin sahab

hamari policy to saf hai iman-faroshi ki

chhupane ke ewaz chhapwa rahe hain KHud wo aib apne

nasihat kya karun main qaum ko ab aib-poshi ki

pahanne ko to kapDe hi na the kya bazm mein jate

KHushi ghar baiThe kar li hum ne jashn-e-taj-poshi ki

shikast-e-rang-e-mazhab ka asar dekhen nae murshid

musalmanon mein kasrat ho rahi hai baada-noshi ki

reaya ko munasib hai ki baham dosti rakkhen

himaqat hakimon se hai tawaqqoa garm-joshi ki

hamare qafiye to ho gae sab KHatm ai 'akbar'

laqab apna jo de den mehrbani hai ye joshi ki
