kya jaaniye sayyad the haq aagah kahan tak
samjhe na ki sidhi hai meri rah kahan tak
mantiq bhi to ek chiz hai ai qibla o kaba
de sakti hai kaam aap ki wallah kahan tak
aflak to is ahd mein sabit hue madum
ab kya kahun jati hai meri aah kahan tak
kuchh sanat o hirfat pe bhi lazim hai tawajjoh
aaKHir ye gowernment se tanKHwah kahan tak
marna bhi zaruri hai KHuda bhi hai koi chiz
ai hirs ke bando hawas-e-jah kahan tak
tahsin ke laeq tera har sher hai 'akbar'
ahbab karen bazm mein ab wah kahan tak
Ghazal
Kya jaaniye sayyad the haq aagah kahan tak
Akbar Allahabadi
