bād-e-nafrat phir mohabbat ko zabāñ darkār hai

phir azīz-e-jāñ vahī urdu zabāñ hone lagī

baad-e-nafrat phir mohabbat ko zaban darkar hai

phir aziz-e-jaan wahi urdu zaban hone lagi

dhīre dhīre sar meñ aa kar bhar gayā barsoñ kā shor

rafta rafta ārzu-e-dil dhuāñ hone lagī

dhire dhire sar mein aa kar bhar gaya barson ka shor

rafta rafta aarzu-e-dil dhuan hone lagi

har nayā rasta nikaltā hai jo manzil ke liye

ham se kahtā hai purānī rahguzar kuchh bhī nahīñ

har naya rasta nikalta hai jo manzil ke liye

hum se kahta hai purani rahguzar kuchh bhi nahin

mujhe bhī ḳhud na thā ehsās apne hone kā

tirī nigāh meñ apnā maqām khone tak

mujhe bhi KHud na tha ehsas apne hone ka

teri nigah mein apna maqam khone tak

sar ke nīche iiñT rakh kar umr bhar soyā hai tū

āḳhirī bistar bhī 'āmir' terā farsh-e-ḳhāk thā

sar ke niche inT rakh kar umr bhar soya hai tu

aaKHiri bistar bhi 'amir' tera farsh-e-KHak tha
