Jam La Jam Ki Aalam Se Ji darta Hai

Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi

jaam la jaam ki alam se ji darta hai

asar-e-gardish-e-ayyam se ji darta hai

lab pe ab ariz-o-gesu ke fasane kya hon

fitnaha-e-sahar-o-sham se ji darta hai

tujh ko main dhundhta phirta huun dar-o-bam se duur

ab tajalli-e-dar-o-bam se ji darta hai

gul khilae na kahin fitna-e-dauran kuchh aur

aj-kal daur-e-mai-o-jam se ji darta hai

nigah-e-mast ke qurban miri samt na dekh

mauja-e-bada-e-gulfam se ji darta hai

chhoḌ kar raah men but-ḳhane guzar jaata huun

hosh men jalva-e-asnam se ji darta hai

raat ki zulmaten baḌhti hi chali jaati hain

‘aḳhtar’ apna to sar-e-sham se ji darta hai
