raat aai hai bachchon ko paDhane mein laga hun
raat aa.ī hai bachchoñ ko paḌhāne meñ lagā huuñ
ḳhud jo na banā un ko banāne meñ lagā huuñ
vo shaḳhs to rag rag meñ mirī guuñj rahā hai
barsoñ se galā jis kā dabāne meñ lagā huuñ
utrā huuñ diyā le ke nihāñ-ḳhāna-e-jāñ meñ
so.e so.e aaseb jagāne meñ lagā huuñ
patthar huuñ to shīshe se mujhe kaam paḌā hai
shīsha huuñ to patthar ke zamāne meñ lagā huuñ
fankār ba-zid hai ki lagā.egā numā.ish
maiñ huuñ ki har ik zaḳhm chhupāne meñ lagā huuñ
kuchh paḌhnā hai kuchh likhnā hai kuchh ronā hai shab ko
maiñ kaam sar-e-shām chukāne meñ lagā huuñ
aise meñ to ab sabr bhī mushkil huā 'akbar'
sab kahte haiñ maiñ us ko bhulāne meñ lagā huuñ
raat aai hai bachchon ko paDhane mein laga hun
KHud jo na bana un ko banane mein laga hun
wo shaKHs to rag rag mein meri gunj raha hai
barson se gala jis ka dabane mein laga hun
utra hun diya le ke nihan-KHana-e-jaan mein
soe soe aaseb jagane mein laga hun
patthar hun to shishe se mujhe kaam paDa hai
shisha hun to patthar ke zamane mein laga hun
fankar ba-zid hai ki lagaega numaish
main hun ki har ek zaKHm chhupane mein laga hun
kuchh paDhna hai kuchh likhna hai kuchh rona hai shab ko
main kaam sar-e-sham chukane mein laga hun
aise mein to ab sabr bhi mushkil hua 'akbar'
sab kahte hain main us ko bhulane mein laga hun
