har vaqt nauha-ḳhvan si rahti hain meri ankhen
ik dukh bhari kahani kahti hain meri ankhen
jazbat-e-dil ki shiddat sahti hain meri ankhen
gul-rang aur shafaq-gun rahti hain meri ankhen
aish o tarab ke jalse dard o alam ke manzar
kya kuchh na ham ne dekha kahti hain meri ankhen
jab se dil o jigar ki hamdard ban gai hain
ghamginiyon men duubi rahti hain meri ankhen
labrez ho ke dil ka saghar chhalak uTha hai
shayad isi sabab se bahti hain meri ankhen
har jumbish-e-nazar hai rudad-e-ishq ‘aḳhtar’
hain be-zaban magar kuchh kahti hain meri ankhen
