Akhtar Ali Akhtar
harim-kaba bana di vo sar-zamin main ne
tire ḳhayal men rakh di jahan jabin main ne
mujhi ko parda-e-hasti men de raha hai fareb
vo husn jis ko kiya jalva-afrin main ne
chaTak men ghunche ki vo saut-e-jan-faza to nahin
suni hai pahle bhi avaz ye kahin main ne
rahin-e-manzil-e-vahm-o-guman raha ‘aḳhtar’
isi men dhundh liya jada-e-yaqin main ne
