dstar-e-faqirana ik taaj se afzun hai
rah-e-tarah-e-khum-khana mearaj se afzun hai
aise hi hukumat hai aise hi ibadat hai
ye shah-e-faqirana mohtaj se afzun hai
chalte ho paristan men pariyan hain bahut shaeq
ab husn-e-pari-khana phir aaj se afzun hai
kya gham hai chhalak jaae saghar mira ai saaqi
vo takna paimana amaj se afzun hai
phir hoe fuzun daulat ‘akhtar’ ye dua de tu
ye faqra-e-pirana ik raaj se afzun hai
