pada hai paanv men ab silsila mohabbat ka
bura hamara hua ho bhala mohabbat ka
jamal-e-saf ki muusa ko taab kab aai
jo dekhiye to hai talib khuda mohabbat ka
har ek dar pe hai gardish men mera kasa-e-chashm
vo shah-e-husn hua ye gada mohabbat ka
na sim-o-zar ki hai hajat na kuchh hukumat ki
ugaal de ke diya khun-baha mohabbat ka
kidhar se jaata tha ‘akhtar’ ye kya hua afsos
khuda bachae hua samna mohabbat ka
