Poet
jaan rahe ya na rahe naam rahe
sathiyo rasm-e-junun aam rahe
barha sa.i-e-talab ki ham ne
ye alag baat ki nakam rahe
azmat-e-ishq se na-vaqif the
jo asir-e-havas-e-ḳham rahe
kya ta.ajjub hai ki piran-e-haram
mar ke bhi talib-e-asnam rahe
kya ḳhabar hai ki yuun hi ai ‘aḳhtar’
ta-ba-kai gardish-e-ayyam rahe
