kabhi KHushbu kabhi saya kabhi paikar ban kar
sabhi hijron mein visalon mein mere pas raho

KHud mujh mein hi mera KHuda ho ye bhi to ho sakta hai
Akbar Ali Khan Arshi Zadah
luTa jo us ne mujh ko to aabaad bhi kiya
ek shaKHs rahzani mein bhi rahbar laga mujhe

main tujh ko bhul na paun yahi saza hai meri
main apne-ap se leta hun intiqam apna
Akbar Ali Khan Arshi Zadah
mere tasawwur ne baKHshi hai tanhai ko bhi ek mahfil
tu mahfil mahfil tanha ho ye bhi to ho sakta hai
Akbar Ali Khan Arshi Zadah
sar-e-KHar se sar-e-sang se jo hai mera jism lahu lahu
kabhi tu bhi to mere sang-e-mil kabhi rang mere safar ke dekh
Akbar Ali Khan Arshi Zadah
