Har but yahan TuTe hue patthar ki tarah hai

har but yahan TuTe hue patthar ki tarah hai
ye shahar to ujDe hue mandar ki tarah hai

main tishna-e-didar ki jhonka hun hawa ka
wo jhil mein utre hue manzar ki tarah hai

kam-zarf zamane ki hiqarat ka gila kya
main KHush hun mera pyar samundar ki tarah hai

is charKH ki taqdis kabhi raat ko dekho
ye qabr pe phaili hui chadar ki tarah hai

main sang-e-tah-e-ab ki surat hun jahan mein
aur waqt bhi soe hue sagar ki tarah hai

rote hain bagule mere daman se lipaT kar
sahra bhi tabiat mein mere ghar ki tarah hai

ashaar mere dard ki KHairaat hain 'aKHtar'
ek shaKHs ye kahta tha ki gham zar ki tarah hai
