yaad aaen jo ayyam-e-bahaaran to kidhar jaen
yaad aa.eñ jo ayyām-e-bahārāñ to kidhar jaa.eñ
ye to koī chāra nahīñ sar phoḌ ke mar jaa.eñ
qadmoñ ke nishāñ haiñ na koī miil kā patthar
is raah se ab jin ko guzarnā hai guzar jaa.eñ
rasmeñ hī badal dī haiñ zamāne ne diloñ kī
kis vaz.a se us bazm meñ ai dīda-e-tar jaa.eñ
jaañ dene ke daave hoñ ki paimān-e-vafā ho
jī meñ to ye aatā hai ki ab ham bhī mukar jaa.eñ
har mauj gale lag ke ye kahtī hai Thahar jaao
dariyā kā ishāra hai ki ham paar utar jaa.eñ
shīshe se bhī nāzuk haiñ inheñ chhū ke na dekho
aisā na ho āñkhoñ ke hasīñ ḳhvāb bikhar jaa.eñ
tārīk hue jaate haiñ baḌhte hue saa.e
'aḳhtar' se kaho shaam huī aap bhī ghar jaa.eñ
yaad aaen jo ayyam-e-bahaaran to kidhar jaen
ye to koi chaara nahin sar phoD ke mar jaen
qadmon ke nishan hain na koi mil ka patthar
is rah se ab jin ko guzarna hai guzar jaen
rasmen hi badal di hain zamane ne dilon ki
kis waza se us bazm mein ai dida-e-tar jaen
jaan dene ke dawe hon ki paiman-e-wafa ho
ji mein to ye aata hai ki ab hum bhi mukar jaen
har mauj gale lag ke ye kahti hai Thahar jao
dariya ka ishaara hai ki hum par utar jaen
shishe se bhi nazuk hain inhen chhu ke na dekho
aisa na ho aankhon ke hasin KHwab bikhar jaen
tarik hue jate hain baDhte hue sae
'aKHtar' se kaho sham hui aap bhi ghar jaen
