sun rakkho use dil ka lagana nahin achchha
duniya ye buri hai ye zamana nahin achchha
sab luT liya ek nazar dekh ke mujh ko
ai duzd-e-nigah dil ka churana nahin achchha
kyun jhenpte ho ghairon mein han phir to kaho wo
gali hi to thi baat banana nahin achchha
uryan-badani par na hababon ki paDe aankh
dariya mein meri jaan nahana nahin achchha
afsos ki surat na banao na rulao
dil pista hai honTon ka chabana nahin achchha
rote hain hansate ho bhari bazm mein sahab
chup baiThe raho dhyan baTana nahin achchha
kuche se chale jaiye 'aKHtar' kahin ab aur
mazmun bahut ishq ka chhana nahin achchha
Ghazal
Sun rakkho use dil ka lagana nahin achchha
Wajid Ali Shah Akhtar
