agon mein dauDti hain bijliyan lahu ke ewaz
shabab kahte hain jis chiz ko qayamat hai

ang o bu mein Dube rahte the hawas
hae kya shai thi bahaar-e-arzu

Akhtar Ansari

meri KHabar to kisi ko nahin magar 'aKHtar'
zamana apne liye hoshiyar kaisa hai

Akhtar Ansari

aarzu ko ruh mein gham ban ke rahna aa gaya
sahte sahte hum ko aaKHir ranj sahna aa gaya

Akhtar Ansari

main kisi se apne dil ki baat kah sakta na tha
ab suKHan ki aaD mein kya kuchh na kahna aa gaya

Akhtar Ansari

koi roe to main be-wajh KHud bhi rone lagta hun
ab 'aKHtar' chahe tum kuchh bhi kaho ye meri fitrat hai

Akhtar Ansari

---

koi maal-e-mohabbat mujhe batao nahin
main KHwab dekh raha hun mujhe jagao nahin

Akhtar Ansari

---

jab se munh ko lag gai 'aKHtar' mohabbat ki sharab
be-piye aaThon pahar madhosh rahna aa gaya
