Dasht-e ghurbat hai alaalat bhi hai tanhaai bhi
 

Dasht-e ghurbat hai alaalat bhi hai tanhaai bhi,
aur un sab ne fuzoon baadiya-paimaai bhi.

Khwaab-e raahat hai kahaan neend bhi aati nahin ab,
bas uchat jaane ko aayi jo kabhi aayi bhi.

Yaad hai mujh ko woh be-fikri o aaghaaz-e shabaab,
shukhan-aaraai bhi thi anjuman-aaraai bhi.

Nigaah-e-shauq-o-tamanna ki woh dilkash thi kamand,
jis se ho jaate the raam aahoo-e-aaraai bhi.

Hum sanam-khana jahan karte the apna qaayam,
phir khade hote the waan hoor ke shaidaai bhi.

Ab na woh umar na woh log na woh lail-o-nahaar,
bujh gayi taba kabhi josh pe gar aai bhi.

Ab toh shubhe bhi mujhe dev nazar aate hain,
uss zamaane mein pari-zaad thi ruswaai bhi.



Kaam ki baat jo kehni ho woh keh lo ‘akbar
dum mein chhin jaayegi ye taaqat-e-goyaai bhi. !!

- Akbar Allahabadi
