gul khilae na kahin fitna-e-dauran kuchh aur
aaj-kal daur-e-mai-o-jam se ji Darta hai
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
gulon ka zikr bahaaron mein kar chuke 'aKHtar'
ab aao hosh mein barq-o-sharar ki baat karo
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
hum jo luTe us shahr mein ja kar dukh logon ko kyun pahuncha
apni nazar thi apna dil tha koi paraya mal na tha
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
ho koi mauj-e-tufan ya hawa-e-tund ka jhonka
jo pahuncha de lab-e-sahil usi ko naKHuda samjho
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
ek husn-e-mukammal hai to ek ishq-sarapa
hoshyar sa ek shaKHs hai diwana sa ek shaKHs
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
kuchh andhere hain abhi rah mein hail 'aKHtar'
apni manzil pe nazar aaega insan ek roz
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
kya karishma hai mere jazba-e-azadi ka
thi jo diwar kabhi ab hai wo dar ki surat
Akhtar Ansari Akbarabadi
