sahil se suna karte hain lahron ki kahani
ye Thahre hue log baghawat nahin karte

sahl kya bar-e-amanat ka uThana hai falak
main sambhalta hun mere sath sambhalti hai zamin

Khursheed Akbar

samundar aasman is par sitaron ka safina
mera mahtab-e-gham hai be-karani dekhne mein

Khursheed Akbar

sham ke tir se zaKHmi hai 'KHurshid' ka sina
nur simaT kar surKH kabutar ban jata hai

Khursheed Akbar

shahr be-ab hua jata hai
apni aankhon mein bacha lun pani

Khursheed Akbar

shahr jab KHud-kafil hai sahab
kaun kis ka malal karta hai

Khursheed Akbar

sisakti aarzu ka dard hun foot-path jaisa hun
ki mujh mein chhaTpaTata shahr-e-kalkatta bhi rahta hai

Khursheed Akbar
