Kano'n me aayi sarwar ke jab sadaye-akbar,
ghutno'n ke bal shahedee'n pahunche hain sooe-maqtal,
dekha jigar ke tukde ko aidya'n ragadte,
barchi pakad ke bole ye shahedeen us pal.

Akbar tere jigar se barchi nahin nikalti

1. Kehte thhe shahewala aayi hai kya museebat
Mushkil me jaa’n hai meri khasta hai teri haalat
Seene pe kaisi tooti beta tere qayamat

2. Akbar tere jigar ka hai zakhm kitna kaari
Choota agar hun mai to hota hai khoon jaari
Kis berahem ne barchi seene pe tere maari

3. Toota hai tu jo beta mai bhi bikhar raha hun,
Barchi nikaalne ki koshish mai kar raha hun
Rukti hai teri sansen pal pal mai mar raha hun

4. Dardo-Alam ba-khoobi mai tere jaanta hun
Zakhmo’n ki tees ko bhi mehsoos kar raha hun
Tu jo tadap raha hai beta mai kaanpta hun

5. Shayed tere jigar me barchi ka phal hai uljha
Kheenchi zara jo barchi tu dard se hai tadpa
Dekhi’n jo teri nazre’n chaane laga andhera

6. Takleef se jo teri haalat bigad rahi hai
Reh reh ke sans meri jaise ukhad rahi hai
Duniya he jaise meri beta ujad rahi hai

7. Tujh pe hai pal ye bhaari, Mujhpe hai waqt mushkil
Barchhi Jo khenchu bas Tu, apna sambhal le dil
Ay mere laal Akbar dushwaar hai ye manzil

8. Naame-Ali jo lekar barchi ko sheh ne Kheencha
Barchi ke sath bahar bas aa gaya kaleja
Fiqra Husain ka phir maqtal me ye na goonja

9. Purdard baapo-Bete ka hai bahut ye qissa,
Khoone-Jigar se jisko 'Tauqeer' ne hai likkha
Honto'n pe hai 'Tejani' ke dil-kharash nauha,
