duur ko_ii raat bhar gaataa rahaa
teraa milanaa mujh ko yaad aataa rahaa

is tarah kuchh us ne chhe.daa dil kaa saaz
der tak har taar tharraataa rahaa

husn par taasiir-e-Gam hotii rahii
ik shaguftaa phuul kumhalaataa rahaa

%[taasiir = effect; shaguftaa = blooming; kumhalaanaa = withering]

ham bhii zabt-e-dard-e-Gam karate rahe
vo bhii apane dil ko samajhaataa rahaa

%[zabt = restraint]

ham na aaye phir chaman me.n lauT kar
mausam-e-gul baar baar aataa rahaa

%[mausam-e-gul = spring]

ab to "Akhtar" lutf-e-Gam bhii miT gayaa
ab to vo aaraam bhii jaataa rahaa
