saans lete hue bhee darata hoon

saans lete hue bhee darata hoon
ye na samajhen ki aah karata hoon

bahar-e-hastee mein hoon misaal-e-habaab
mit hee jaata hoon jab ubharata hoon

itanee aazaadee bhee ganeemat hai
saans leta hoon, baat karata hoon

shekh saahab khuda se darate hon
main to angrezon hee se darata hoon

aap kya poochhate hain mera mizaaj
shukr allaah ka hai marata hoon

ye bada aib mujh mein hai ‘akabar’
dil mein jo aae kah guzarata hoon
