uski diwar pe manqush hai wo harf-e-wafa
us kī dīvār pe manqūsh hai vo harf-e-vafā
jis kī ta.abīr ko ḳhvāboñ kā sahārā na milā
merī tanhā.ī se uktā ke tirā naam bhī kal
apne mustaqbil-e-tābāñ kī taraf lauT gayā
jab ḳhayālāt mirā saath nahīñ dete haiñ
dil meñ dar aatī hai chupke se vo mānūs sadā
aise ḳhush-rañg sarāboñ kā sahārā kab tak
muskurātā huuñ to detī hai tamannā ye sadā
maiñ ne chāhā thā na.ī sub.h kā sūraj ban jā.ūñ
duur tak dāman-e-shab aur bhī kuchh phail gayā
phir ḳhudā.ī meñ hai kyuuñ ghor añdheroñ ko sabāt
ham chalo maan ga.e ek tajallī hai ḳhudā
sher kahtā huuñ to 'akmal' mirā dil kahtā hai
fikr-e-āvāra pe alfāz kī chādar na chaḌhā
us ki diwar pe manqush hai wo harf-e-wafa
jis ki tabir ko KHwabon ka sahaara na mila
meri tanhai se ukta ke tera nam bhi kal
apne mustaqbil-e-taban ki taraf lauT gaya
jab KHayalat mera sath nahin dete hain
dil mein dar aati hai chupke se wo manus sada
aise KHush-rang sarabon ka sahaara kab tak
muskuraata hun to deti hai tamanna ye sada
main ne chaha tha nai subh ka suraj ban jaun
dur tak daman-e-shab aur bhi kuchh phail gaya
phir KHudai mein hai kyun ghor andheron ko sabaat
hum chalo man gae ek tajalli hai KHuda
sher kahta hun to 'akmal' mera dil kahta hai
fikr-e-awara pe alfaz ki chadar na chaDha
