Akhtar Shirani
ai dil vo ashiqi ke fasane kidhar gae
vo umr kya hui vo zamane kidhar gae
viran hain sahn o baagh baharon ko kya hua
vo bulbulen kahan vo tarane kidhar gae
hai najd men sukut havaon ko kya hua
lailaen hain khamosh divane kidhar gae
ujde pade hain dasht ghazalon pe kya bani
suune hain kohsar divane kidhar gae
vo hijr men visal ki ummid kya hui
vo ranj men khushi ke bahane kidhar gae
din raat mai-kade men guzarti thi zindagi
‘akhtar’ vo be-khudi ke zamane kidhar gae
