Akbar Hyderabadi
jin pe ajal taari thi un ko zinda karta hai
suraj jal kar kitne dilon ko Thanda karta hai
kitne shahr ujaḌ jaate hain kitne jal jaate hain
aur chup-chap zamana sab kuchh dekha karta hai
majburon ki baat alag hai un par kya ilzam
jis ko nahin koi majburi vo kya karta hai
himmat vaale pal men badal dete hain duniya ko
sochne vaala dil to baiTha socha karta hai
jis basti men nafsa-nafsi ka qanun chale
us basti men kaun kisi ki parva karta hai
pyaar bhari avaz ki lai men maddham lahje men
tanhai men koi mujh se bola karta hai
us ik sham-e-farozan ke hain aur bhi parvane
chand akela kab suraj ka halqa karta hai
ruuh barahna nafs barahna zaat barhana jis ki
jism pe vo kya kya poshaken pahna karta hai
ashkon ke sailab-e-ravan ko ‘akbar’ mat roko
bah jaae to buujh ye dil ka halka karta hai
