bole shabbir meri jaa'n akber
yu'n na lo mera imteha'n akber
kaise marne ki doon riza tumko
tum ho laila ki qalb-o-jaa'n akber
mai bhi peechhe tumhare aata hu'n
is qadar tum na ho rawaa'n akber
aye mere laal is zaeefi me
ran me dhoondu tumhe kaha'n akber
tum nigaho'n se ho gaye oujhal
meri nazro'n me hai dhuwa'n akber
dekh kar zakhm tere seene ka
dil pe chalti hai barchhiya'n akber
is tarha ka hai zakhm seene me
khoon seene se hai rawa'n akber
maa se milna hai chalke qaime me
mout ki lo na hichkiya'n akber
uthgaye tum jaha'n se ghurbat me
sehra baandhegi kisko maa akber
umme laila se kya kahu'n jaakar
kuch to farmao meri jaan akber
roke kehti thi maa yehi mazher phir sunaado mujhe azaa'n akber
