yaqin-e-wada nahin tab-e-intizar nahin
yaqīn-e-vāda nahīñ tāb-e-intizār nahīñ
kisī tarah bhī dil-e-zār ko qarār nahīñ
shaboñ ko ḳhvāb nahīñ ḳhvāb ko qarār nahīñ
ki zeb-e-dosh vo gesu-e-mushk-bār nahīñ
kalī kalī meñ samā.ī hai nik.hat-e-salmā
shamīm-e-hūr hai ye bū-e-nau-bahār nahīñ
kahāñ kahāñ na hue māh-rū judā mujh se
kahāñ kahāñ mirī ummīd kā mazār nahīñ
ġhamoñ kī fasl hamesha rahī tar o taaza
ye vo ḳhizāñ hai ki sharminda-e-bahār nahīñ
bahār aa.ī hai aise meñ tum bhī aa jaao
ki zindagī kā ba-rañg-e-gul e'tibār nahīñ
kisī kī zulf-e-pareshāñ kā sāya-e-raqsāñ hai
fazā meñ bāl-fishāñ abr-e-nau-bahār nahīñ
sitāra-vār vo pahlū meñ aa ga.e shab ko
sahar se kah do ki mahfil meñ aaj baar nahīñ
gul-e-fasurda bhī ik turfa husn rakhtā hai
ḳhizāñ ye hai to mujhe hasrat-e-bahār nahīñ
har ek jaam pe ye naġhma-e-hazīñ saaqī
ki is javāni-e-fānī kā e'tibār nahīñ
ḳhudā ne baḳhsh diye mere dil ko ġham itne
ki ab maiñ apne gunāhoñ pe sharmsār nahīñ
chaman kī chāndnī rāteñ haiñ kis qadar vīrāñ
ki is bahār meñ vo māh-e-nau-bahār nahīñ
sharīk-e-soz haiñ parvāne sham.a ke 'aḳhtar'
hamāre dil kā magar koī ġham-gusār nahīñ
yaqin-e-wada nahin tab-e-intizar nahin
kisi tarah bhi dil-e-zar ko qarar nahin
shabon ko KHwab nahin KHwab ko qarar nahin
ki zeb-e-dosh wo gesu-e-mushk-bar nahin
kali kali mein samai hai nikhat-e-salma
shamim-e-hur hai ye bu-e-nau-bahaar nahin
kahan kahan na hue mah-ru juda mujh se
kahan kahan meri ummid ka mazar nahin
ghamon ki fasl hamesha rahi tar o taza
ye wo KHizan hai ki sharminda-e-bahaar nahin
bahaar aai hai aise mein tum bhi aa jao
ki zindagi ka ba-rang-e-gul e'tibar nahin
kisi ki zulf-e-pareshan ka saya-e-raqsan hai
faza mein baal-fishan abr-e-nau-bahaar nahin
sitara-war wo pahlu mein aa gae shab ko
sahar se kah do ki mahfil mein aaj bar nahin
gul-e-fasurda bhi ek turfa husn rakhta hai
KHizan ye hai to mujhe hasrat-e-bahaar nahin
har ek jam pe ye naghma-e-hazin saqi
ki is jawani-e-fani ka e'tibar nahin
KHuda ne baKHsh diye mere dil ko gham itne
ki ab main apne gunahon pe sharmsar nahin
chaman ki chandni raaten hain kis qadar viran
ki is bahaar mein wo mah-e-nau-bahaar nahin
sharik-e-soz hain parwane shama ke 'aKHtar'
hamare dil ka magar koi gham-gusar nahin
