Meri Shaam-e-ghum Ko Wo Bahla Rahe Hain

Meri shaam-e-ghum ko wo bahla rahe hain,
Likha hai ye khat mein ke hum aa rahe hain,

Thehar ja zara aur ai dard-e-furqat,
Humare tasawwur mein wo aa rahe hain,

Ghum-e-aaqibat hai na fikr-e-zamana,
Piye ja rahe hain jiye ja rahe hain,

Nahin shikwa-e-tishnagi may-kashon ko,
Wo aankhon se may-khane barsa rahe hain,

Wo rashk-e-bahaar aane waala hai 'Akhtar',
Kanwal hasraton ke khile ja rahe hain.!!

"Akhtar Shirani"
