Aah jo dil se nikaali jaayegi,
Kya samajhte ho ke khaali jaayegi,
Is nazakat par ye shamshir-e-jafa,
Aap se kyunkar sambhaali jaayegi,
Kya ghum-e-duniya ka darr mujh rind ko,
Aur ek botal chadha li jaayegi,
Shaikh ki daawat mein may ka kaam kya,
Ahtiyatan kuchh manga li jaayegi,
Yaad-e-aabru mein hai 'Akbar' mahw yoon,
Kab teri ye kaj-khyaali jaayegi.!!
"Akbar Allahabadi"
