kabe se jo but nikle bhi to kya kaba hi gaya jo dil se nikal

dhamka ke bose lunga ruKH-e-rashk-e-mah ka

jo waqt-e-KHatna main chiKHa to nai ne kaha hans kar

puchha akbar hai aadmi kaisa

dila de hum ko bhi sahab se loyalti ka parwana

gham-KHan-e-jahan mein waqat hi kya hamari

talluq aashiq o mashuq ka to lutf rakhta tha

tifl mein bu aae kya man bap ke atwar ki

wasl ho ya firaq ho akbar

ishq ke izhaar mein har-chand ruswai to hai

falsafi ko bahas ke andar KHuda milta nahin

dam labon par tha dil-e-zar ke ghabrane se

bole ki tujhko din ki islah farz hai

akbar dabe nahin kisi sultan ki fauj se

asar ye tere anfas-e-masihai ka hai akbar
