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

bazm meñ yuuñ to sabhī the phir bhī 'āmir' der tak

tere jaane se rahī ik ḳhāmushī chāroñ taraf

bazm mein yun to sabhi the phir bhi 'amir' der tak

tere jaane se rahi ek KHamushi chaaron taraf

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

na samjhe ashk-fishānī ko koī māyūsī

hai dil meñ aag agar aañkh meñ bhī paanī hai

na samjhe ashk-fishani ko koi mayusi

hai dil mein aag agar aankh mein bhi pani hai

sach kahiyo ki vāqif ho mire haal se 'āmir'

duniyā hai ḳhafā mujh se ki duniyā se ḳhafā maiñ

sach kahiyo ki waqif ho mere haal se 'amir'

duniya hai KHafa mujh se ki duniya se KHafa main
