yahi chinar yahi jhil ka kinara tha
yahī chinār yahī jhiil kā kinārā thā
yahīñ kisī ne mire saath din guzārā thā
nazar meñ naqsh hai sub.h-e-safar kī vīrānī
bas ek maiñ thā aur ik sub.h kā sitārā thā
mire ḳhilāf gavāhī meñ pesh pesh rahā
vo shaḳhs jis ne mujhe jurm par ubhārā thā
ḳhirāj detā chalā aa rahā huuñ aaj talak
maiñ ek roz zamāne se jang haarā thā
mujhe ḳhud apnī nahīñ us kī fikr lāhaq hai
bichhaḌne vaalā bhī mujh sā hī be-sahārā thā
zamīñ ke kaam agar merī dastaras meñ nahīñ
to phir zamīñ pe mujhe kis liye utārā thā
maiñ jal ke raakh huā jis alaao meñ 'āmir'
vo ibtidā meñ sulagtā huā sharāra thā
yahi chinar yahi jhil ka kinara tha
yahin kisi ne mere sath din guzara tha
nazar mein naqsh hai subh-e-safar ki virani
bas ek main tha aur ek subh ka sitara tha
mere KHilaf gawahi mein pesh pesh raha
wo shaKHs jis ne mujhe jurm par ubhaara tha
KHiraj deta chala aa raha hun aaj talak
main ek roz zamane se jang haara tha
mujhe KHud apni nahin us ki fikr lahaq hai
bichhaDne wala bhi mujh sa hi be-sahaara tha
zamin ke kaam agar meri dastaras mein nahin
to phir zamin pe mujhe kis liye utara tha
main jal ke rakh hua jis alao mein 'amir'
wo ibtida mein sulagta hua sharara tha
