chand uljhi hui sanson ki ata hun kya hun
chand uljhī huī sāñsoñ kī atā huuñ kyā huuñ
maiñ charāġh-e-tah-e-dāmān-e-sabā huuñ kyā huuñ
har nafas hai mirā parvarda-e-āġhosh-e-balā
apne nā-karda gunāhoñ kī sazā huuñ kyā huuñ
mujh pe khultā hī nahīñ merā sitam-dīda vajūd
koī patthar huuñ ki gum-karda sadā huuñ kyā huuñ
dil meñ huuñ aur zabāñ par kabhī aatā bhī nahīñ
maiñ koī bholā huā harf-e-duā huuñ kyā huuñ
maiñ safar meñ huuñ magar samt-e-safar koī nahīñ
kyā maiñ ḳhud apnā hī naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā huuñ kyā huuñ
maiñ ne dekhā hī nahīñ jāgtī āñkhoñ se kabhī
koī uqda huuñ ki ḳhud uqda-kushā huuñ kyā huuñ
pūchhtā hai mirā pairāhan-e-hastī mujh se
maiñ qabā huuñ ki faqat band-e-qabā huuñ kyā huuñ
dil kī aur merī zabāñ ek hai phir bhī 'aḳhtar'
lafz o ma.anī kī pur-asrār fazā huuñ kyā huuñ
chand uljhi hui sanson ki ata hun kya hun
main charagh-e-tah-e-daman-e-saba hun kya hun
har nafas hai mera parwarda-e-aghosh-e-bala
apne na-karda gunahon ki saza hun kya hun
mujh pe khulta hi nahin mera sitam-dida wajud
koi patthar hun ki gum-karda sada hun kya hun
dil mein hun aur zaban par kabhi aata bhi nahin
main koi bhola hua harf-e-dua hun kya hun
main safar mein hun magar samt-e-safar koi nahin
kya main KHud apna hi naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hun kya hun
main ne dekha hi nahin jagti aankhon se kabhi
koi uqda hun ki KHud uqda-kusha hun kya hun
puchhta hai mera pairahan-e-hasti mujh se
main qaba hun ki faqat band-e-qaba hun kya hun
dil ki aur meri zaban ek hai phir bhi 'aKHtar'
lafz o mani ki pur-asrar faza hun kya hun
