ruKHsat-e-raqs bhi hai panw mein zanjir bhi hai
ruKHsat-e-raqs bhi hai panw mein zanjir bhi hai

ruḳhsat-e-raqs bhī hai paañv meñ zanjīr bhī hai
sar-e-manzar magar ik boltī tasvīr bhī hai
mere shānoñ pe farishtoñ kā bhī hai bār-e-girāñ
aur mire sāmne ik malbe kī ta.amīr bhī hai
zā.icha apnā jo dekhā hai to sar yaad aayā
jaise in hāthoñ pe kanda koī taqdīr bhī hai
ḳhvāhisheñ ḳhuun meñ utrī haiñ sahīfoñ kī tarah
in kitāboñ meñ tire haath kī tahrīr bhī hai
jis se milnā thā muqaddar vo dobāra na milā
aur imkāñ na thā jis kā vo ināñ-gīr bhī hai
sar-e-dīvār navishte bhī ka.ī dekhtā huuñ
pas-e-dīvār magar hasrat-e-tāmīr bhī hai
maiñ ye samjhā thā sulagtā huuñ faqat maiñ hī yahāñ
ab jo dekhā to ye ehsās hama-gīr bhī hai
yuuñ na dekho ki zamāna mutvajja ho jaa.e
ki is andāz-e-nazar meñ mirī tash.hīr bhī hai
maiñ ne jo ḳhvāb abhī dekhā nahīñ hai 'aḳhtar'
merā har ḳhvāb usī ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr bhī hai
ruKHsat-e-raqs bhi hai panw mein zanjir bhi hai
sar-e-manzar magar ek bolti taswir bhi hai
mere shanon pe farishton ka bhi hai bar-e-giran
aur mere samne ek malbe ki tamir bhi hai
zaicha apna jo dekha hai to sar yaad aaya
jaise in hathon pe kanda koi taqdir bhi hai
KHwahishen KHun mein utri hain sahifon ki tarah
in kitabon mein tere hath ki tahrir bhi hai
jis se milna tha muqaddar wo dobara na mila
aur imkan na tha jis ka wo inan-gir bhi hai
sar-e-diwar nawishte bhi kai dekhta hun
pas-e-diwar magar hasrat-e-tamir bhi hai
main ye samjha tha sulagta hun faqat main hi yahan
ab jo dekha to ye ehsas hama-gir bhi hai
yun na dekho ki zamana mutwajja ho jae
ki is andaz-e-nazar mein meri tashhir bhi hai
main ne jo KHwab abhi dekha nahin hai 'aKHtar'
mera har KHwab usi KHwab ki tabir bhi hai
