tū agar dil-navāz ho jaa.e
soz ham-rañg-e-sāz ho jaa.e
dil jo āgāh-e-rāz ho jaa.e
har haqīqat majāz ho jaa.e
lazzat-e-ġham kā ye taqāzā hai
muddat-e-ġham darāz ho jaa.e
naġhma-e-ishq chheḌtā huuñ maiñ
zindagī nai-navāz ho jaa.e
us kī bigḌī bane na kyuuñ ai ishq
jis kā tū kārsāz ho jaa.e
husn maġhrūr hai magar tauba
ishq agar be-niyāz ho jaa.e
dard kā phir maza hai jab 'aḳhtar'
dard ḳhud chārasāz ho jaa.e
tu agar dil-nawaz ho jae
soz ham-rang-e-saz ho jae
dil jo aagah-e-raaz ho jae
har haqiqat majaz ho jae
lazzat-e-gham ka ye taqaza hai
muddat-e-gham daraaz ho jae
naghma-e-ishq chheDta hun main
zindagi nai-nawaz ho jae
us ki bigDi bane na kyun ai ishq
jis ka tu karsaz ho jae
husn maghrur hai magar tauba
ishq agar be-niyaz ho jae
dard ka phir maza hai jab 'aKHtar'
dard KHud chaarasaz ho jae
tu agar dil-nawaz ho jae
