Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Khafa te laal gale seh, lagaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Kashaan kashaan mujhe darbaar legaye ada
Jaffa-e-shimr sitamghar, sunaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Tumhare baad mere sarsey chingayee chadar
Chalo vatan meh tumhe abh, bulaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Hoowa na byaaha purarmaan margaye Akbar
Meh teri laash ko dulha, banaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Meh apni ashqe musalsal ki baandh kar lariyaan
Tere Janaaze pe sehra, charhaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Jawaan beytey ki mayyat zaeef ma dehke
Magar naseeb ka likhaa, mitaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Andhere dasht main sotey ho eh mere beta
chiraaghe hasrat-o-armaan, jalaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
Khafa te laal gale seh, lagaane ayee hoon
Kaha yeh ma ne ke Akbar, manaane ayee hoon
