hichkiyan lete thay ali akbar umme laila ye bain karti thi

poshaak udhaloon ke mai armaan nikaloon

ay maut teher jaa ay maut teher jaa

mai apne jawan laal ko dulha to bana loon

...ay maut

is laal ko mai kaise karoon tere hawale

ye chand to deta hai zamane ko ujale

is chand ki poshaak sitaron se sajaloon

...ay maut

athara baras phoolon ki tarha jise paala

jaata hai mujhe chod ke wo gesuon wala

ab tu hi bata kaise mai is dil ko sambhaloon

...ay maut

dekhe thay bahut khaab magar khaak hue sab

is bete ke sehre ki dua karti thi zainab

dulah na sahi mai ise dulah sa banaloon

...ay maut

har shaam jise lagti hai ab shame gharibaan

jo kehti thi akbar ki dulhan laaungi amma

us fatima sughra ko madine se bulaloon

...ay maut

qaime se zara door khade rote hai sarwar

ek haat kalaje pe hai ek haat kamar par

mai khud ko sambhaloon ke shahe deen ko sambhaloon

...ay maut

ye kiski nazar kha gayi is noore nazar ko

veeran kiye jaate hai akbar mere ghar ko

jee karta hai is chaand ko dunya se chupaloon

...ay maut

zainab ke labon par hai buka haaye muqaddar

kya sehra chadhaun mai teri lash pe akbar

aur khud ko teri laash pe sadqe hi utaroon

...ay maut

mehendi na lagi haaton may hai khoon badan ka

pooshak-e-shahani ko mila daag kafan ka

is laash pe athaarveen mannat ko badhaloon

...ay maut

taqdeer kisi maa ko ye manzar na dikhaaye

maiyat pe jawaan laal ke wo ashq bahaaye

jee bhar ke ise dekhloon aur ashq bahaun

...ay maut

faryaad zara sunle sakina ki zubaani

marjaungi bichda jo mera yousuf-e-saani

bhaiya mere naraaz hai mai unko manaloon

...ay maut

maa roti rahi mazhar-o-irfan tadapkar

aur aakhri hichki may safar kargaye akbar

maa kehti rahi mai ise dulah to banaloon

...ay maut
