kal tak jo dil ghurur-e-jalal-o-jamal tha
kal tak jo dil ġhurūr-e-jalāl-o-jamāl thā
aaj un ke rāste meñ paḌā pā.emāl thā
zanjīr thī kahīñ na kahīñ koī jaal thā
lekin tirī fazā se nikalnā muhāl thā
thā tiir un ke paas vahī ek be-nazīr
aur zaḳhm jo lagā vo bhī apnī misāl thā
us ne bhalā kahā ki burā us kī ḳhair ho
maiñ sun ke chup rahā to ye merā kamāl thā
chup-chāp sar jhukā.e hue maiñ guzar gayā
maiñ jāntā thā jo tirī bastī kā haal thā
achchhā huā guzar gayā 'aḳhtar' jahān se
muddat se vo 'sa.īd' ke ġham meñ niDhāl thā
kal tak jo dil ghurur-e-jalal-o-jamal tha
aaj un ke raste mein paDa paemal tha
zanjir thi kahin na kahin koi jal tha
lekin teri faza se nikalna muhaal tha
tha tir un ke pas wahi ek be-nazir
aur zaKHm jo laga wo bhi apni misal tha
us ne bhala kaha ki bura us ki KHair ho
main sun ke chup raha to ye mera kamal tha
chup-chap sar jhukae hue main guzar gaya
main jaanta tha jo teri basti ka haal tha
achchha hua guzar gaya 'aKHtar' jahan se
muddat se wo 'said' ke gham mein niDhaal tha
