Akhtar Shirani
jhuum kar badli uthi aur chha gai
saari duniya par javani aa gai
aah vo us ki nigah-e-mai-farosh
jab bhi utthi mastiyan barsa gai
gesu-e-mushkin men vo ru-e-hasin
abr men bijli si ik lahra gai
alam-e-masti ki tauba al-aman
parsai nashsha ban kar chha gai
aah us ki be-niyazi ki nazar
aarzu kya phuul si kumhla gai
saz-e-dil ko gudgudaya ishq ne
maut ko le kar javani aa gai
parsai ki javan-margi na puchh
tauba karni thi ki badli chha gai
‘akhtar’ us jan-e-tamanna ki ada
jab kabhi yaad aa gai tadpa gai
