kafir tha main KHuda ka na munkir dua ka tha
kāfir thā maiñ ḳhudā kā na munkir duā kā thā
lekin yahāñ savāl shikast-e-anā kā thā
kuchh ishq-o-āshiqī pe nahīñ merā e'tiqād
maiñ jis ko chāhtā thā hasīñ intihā kā thā
jal kar girā huuñ sūkhe shajar se uḌā nahīñ
maiñ ne vahī kiyā jo taqāzā vafā kā thā
tārīk raat mausam-e-barsāt jān-e-zār
girdāb pīchhe sāmne tūfāñ havā kā thā
ik umr ba.ad bhī na shifā ho sake to kyā
rag rag meñ zahr sadiyoñ kī āb-o-havā kā thā
go rāhzan kā vaar bhī kuchh kam na thā magar
jo vaar kārgar huā vo rahnumā kā thā
'akbar' jahāñ meñ kār-kushā.ī butoñ kī thī
achchhā rahā jo mānñe vaalā ḳhudā kā thā
kafir tha main KHuda ka na munkir dua ka tha
lekin yahan sawal shikast-e-ana ka tha
kuchh ishq-o-ashiqi pe nahin mera e'tiqad
main jis ko chahta tha hasin intiha ka tha
jal kar gira hun sukhe shajar se uDa nahin
main ne wahi kiya jo taqaza wafa ka tha
tarik raat mausam-e-barsat jaan-e-zar
girdab pichhe samne tufan hawa ka tha
ek umr baad bhi na shifa ho sake to kya
rag rag mein zahr sadiyon ki aab-o-hawa ka tha
go rahzan ka war bhi kuchh kam na tha magar
jo war kargar hua wo rahnuma ka tha
'akbar' jahan mein kar-kushai buton ki thi
achchha raha jo manne wala KHuda ka tha
