asar ye tere anfaas-e-masihaai kaa hai 'akbar' — Akbar Allahabadi

is qadar thaa khaTmalon kaa chaarpaai mein hujum
vasl kaa dil se mire armaan rukhsat ho gayaa

yahi Thahri jo shart-e-vasl-e-lailaa
to istifaa miraa baa-hasrat-o-yaas

kaabe se jo but nikle bhi to kyaa kaaba hi gayaa jo dil se nikal
afsos ki but bhi ham se chhuTe qabze se khudaa kaa ghar bhi gayaa

izzat kaa hai na auj na neki ki mauj hai
hamla hai apni qaum pe lafzon ki fauj hai

maulvi saahib na chhoDeinge khudaa go bakhsh de
gher hi leinge police vaale sazaa ho yaa na ho

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang
