yaran-e-tez-gam se ranjish kahan hai ab
yārān-e-tez-gām se ranjish kahāñ hai ab
manzil pe jā pahuñchne kī ḳhvāhish kahāñ hai ab
zindāñ meñ din bhī raat hī jaisā guzar gayā
ahl-e-junūñ vo pahlī sī shorish kahāñ hai ab
jām-e-sharāb ab to mire sāmne na rakh
āñkhoñ meñ nuur haath meñ jumbish kahāñ hai ab
halqa-ba-gosh koī na ab yaar hai yahāñ
vo roz-o-shab kī dād-o-satā.ish kahāñ hai ab
jiine kā haq jo māñgā to tevar badal ga.e
vo mere muhsinoñ kī navāzish kahāñ hai ab
chehre pe gard-e-umr-e-ravāñ kā zuhūr hai
bāñhoñ ke baale bosoñ kī bārish kahāñ hai ab
ḳhanjar ho yā ki dashna ho yā teġh yā qalam
'aḳhtar' vo aab aur vo burrish kahāñ hai ab
yaran-e-tez-gam se ranjish kahan hai ab
manzil pe ja pahunchne ki KHwahish kahan hai ab
zindan mein din bhi raat hi jaisa guzar gaya
ahl-e-junun wo pahli si shorish kahan hai ab
jam-e-sharab ab to mere samne na rakh
aankhon mein nur hath mein jumbish kahan hai ab
halqa-ba-gosh koi na ab yar hai yahan
wo roz-o-shab ki dad-o-sataish kahan hai ab
jine ka haq jo manga to tewar badal gae
wo mere muhsinon ki nawazish kahan hai ab
chehre pe gard-e-umr-e-rawan ka zuhur hai
banhon ke baale boson ki barish kahan hai ab
KHanjar ho ya ki dashna ho ya tegh ya qalam
'aKHtar' wo aab aur wo burrish kahan hai ab
