agarche haal o hawadis ki hukmarani hai

agarche haal o havādis kī hukmarānī hai

har ek shaḳhs kī apnī bhī ik kahānī hai

maiñ aaj kal ke tasavvur se shād-kām to huuñ

ye aur baat ki do pal kī zindagānī hai

nishān raah ke dekhe to ye ḳhayāl aayā

mirā qadam bhī kisī ke liye nishānī hai

ḳhizāñ nahīñ hai ba-juz ik taraddud-e-bejā

chaman khilāo agar zauq-e-bāġhbānī hai

kabhī na haal huā merā tere hasb-e-mizāj

na samjhā tū ki yahī terī bad-gumānī hai

na samjhe ashk-fishānī ko koī māyūsī

hai dil meñ aag agar aañkh meñ bhī paanī hai

milā to un kā milā saath ham ko ai 'āmir'

na dauḌnā hai jinheñ aur na choT khānī hai

agarche haal o hawadis ki hukmarani hai

har ek shaKHs ki apni bhi ek kahani hai

main aaj kal ke tasawwur se shad-kaam to hun

ye aur baat ki do pal ki zindagani hai

nishan rah ke dekhe to ye KHayal aaya

mera qadam bhi kisi ke liye nishani hai

KHizan nahin hai ba-juz ek taraddud-e-beja

chaman khilao agar zauq-e-baghbani hai

kabhi na haal hua mera tere hasb-e-mizaj

na samjha tu ki yahi teri bad-gumani hai

na samjhe ashk-fishani ko koi mayusi

hai dil mein aag agar aankh mein bhi pani hai

mila to un ka mila sath hum ko ai 'amir'

na dauDna hai jinhen aur na choT khani hai
