dil daba jata hai kitna aaj gham ke bar se
kaisi tanhai Tapakti hai dar o diwar se
manzil-e-iqrar apni aaKHiri manzil hai ab
hum ki aae hain guzar kar jada-e-inkar se
tarjuman tha aks apne chehra-e-gum-gashta ka
ek sada aati rahi aaina-e-asrar se
mand paDte ja rahe the KHwab-taswiron ke rang
raat utarti ja rahi thi dard ki diwar se
main bhi 'akbar' karb-agin jaanta hun zist ko
munsalik hai fikr meri fikr-e-schopenhauer se
Ghazal
Dil daba jata hai kitna aaj gham ke bar se
Akbar Hyderabadi
