jo kaha main ne ki pyar aata hai mujh ko tum par
hans ke kahne laga aur aap ko aata kya hai
laughing, she inquired when, I said "I love you"
is there anything else at all that you know to do
Akbar Allahabadi
jo waqt-e-KHatna main chiKHa to nai ne kaha hans kar
musalmani mein taqat KHun hi bahne se aati hai
Akbar Allahabadi
khincho na kamanon ko na talwar nikalo
jab top muqabil ho to aKHbar nikalo
neither bow and arrow nor a sword do you require
pubish a newspaper when faced with cannon fire
Akbar Allahabadi
KHilaf-e-shara kabhi shaiKH thukta bhi nahin
magar andhere ujale mein cukta bhi nahin
Akbar Allahabadi
KHuda se mang jo kuchh mangna hai ai 'akbar'
yahi wo dar hai ki zillat nahin sawal ke baad
Akbar Allahabadi
kis naz se kahte hain wo jhunjhla ke shab-e-wasl
tum to hamein karwaT bhi badalne nahin dete
Akbar Allahabadi
kuchh allahabad mein saman nahin bahbud ke
yan dhara kya hai ba-juz akbar ke aur amrud ke
Akbar Allahabadi
kuchh nahin kar-e-falak hadsa-pashi ke siwa
falsafa kuchh nahin alfaz-tarashi ke siwa
Akbar Allahabadi
kuchh tarz-e-sitam bhi hai kuchh andaz-e-wafa bhi
khulta nahin haal un ki tabiat ka zara bhi
Akbar Allahabadi
