Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
shairo hadd-e-qadamat se nikal kar dekho
dastanon ke ab unvan badal kar dekho
kyuun ho taqlid-e-kalim aaj bhi ai dida-varo
didani ho koi jalva to sambhal kar dekho
sham-o-parvana ka andaz naya hai ki nahin
zikr tha jis ka ab us bazm men chal kar dekho
aur bhi ruḳh nazar aenge tajalli ke abhi
ruḳh nigahon ke zara aur badal kar dekho
agle vaqton ke fasane na sunao yaaro
nae mahaul ke sanche men bhi dhal kar dekho
kal ke andaz bhi dilkash the ye taslim magar
aaj bhi shahr-e-nigaran men nikal kar dekho
apne ahbab ki janib na uThao nazren
dekhna hai agar ‘aḳhtar’ to sambhal kar dekho
