Akhtar Ansari
charḳh ki sai-e-jafa koshish nakara hai
gardish-e-dahr yahan jumbish-e-gahvara hai
chand taron ke talatum se ye aata hai ḳhayal
dil-e-vahshi koi tufan-zada sayyara hai
bah gae dida-e-nam-nak se dariya lekin
dil vahi ek dahakta hua angara hai
dil hua soz-e-jahannam men giraftar magar
ruuh ab bhi kisi firdaus men avara hai
kaisi taqdir ki gardish gham-e-dil ko main ne
gardish-e-gumbad-e-aflak pe de maara hai
mere sheron se ta.arruz na kar ai naqid-e-fan
meri barbadi-e-dil hi mira shah-para hai
bahjat-e-fikr pe qadir huun main jab tak ‘aḳhtar’
mujhe sarmaya-e-andoh bahut pyara hai
