    tanhā.iyoñ barf thī bistar pe jā-ba-jā

    sho.aloñ raqs raat badan par na ho sakā

    parchhā.iyoñ ke āriz-o-lab kaun chūmtā

    lazzat-farosh jism se maiñ duur rahā

    maiñ ne apne dil ke varaq par use likhā

    jo hādisa kisī se raqam ho nahīñ sakā

    har-samt khiñch ga.e tirī yādoñ ke sā.ebān

    kal raat dard lauT gayā chīḳhtā huā

    yādoñ ne iztirāb rekhā.eñ khīñch diiñ

    varna mire sukūn kāġhaz safed thā

    chehroñ se uḌ chuke haiñ shanāsā.iyoñ ke aks

    ab dostoñ khoj meñ umr mat gañvā

    dil meñ sitam zahr laboñ par mai-e-ḳhulūs

    yārān-e-ḳhush-kalām ab tajraba huā

    shāyad use yaqīn uñglī na chhū sake

    ik shaḳhs apne-āp se barsoñ nahīñ milā

    haa.il thī rāste meñ rivāyāt ḳhalīj

    vo dil baat apnī zabāñ tak na sakā

    maiñ chup rahā to qaid mī.ād baḌh ga.ī

    chīḳhā to aur halqa-e-zanjīr kas gayā

    paanī ke intizār meñ phir ret phāñkiye

    'aḳhtar' ye din bhī dhuup daldal meñ dhañs gayā

    tanhaiyon ki barf thi bistar pe ja-ba-ja

    shoalon ka raqs raat badan par na ho saka

    parchhaiyon ke aariz-o-lab kaun chumta

    lazzat-farosh jism se main dur hi raha

    main ne hi apne dil ke waraq par use likha

    jo hadisa kisi se raqam ho nahin saka

    har-samt khinch gae teri yaadon ke saeban

    kal raat dard lauT gaya chiKHta hua

    yaadon ne iztirab ki rekhaen khinch din

    warna mere sukun ka kaghaz safed tha

    chehron se uD chuke hain shanasaiyon ke aks

    ab doston ki khoj mein tu umr mat ganwa

    dil mein sitam ka zahr labon par mai-e-KHulus

    yaran-e-KHush-kalam ka ab tajraba hua

    shayad use yaqin ki ungli na chhu sake

    ek shaKHs apne-ap se barson nahin mila

    hail thi raste mein riwayat ki KHalij

    wo dil ki baat apni zaban tak na la saka

    main chup raha to qaid ki miad baDh gai

    chiKHa to aur halqa-e-zanjir kas gaya

    pani ke intizar mein phir ret phankiye

    'aKHtar' ye din bhi dhup ki daldal mein dhans gaya
