ye ziist aur abhī kārgar banānā hai

ayaañ ho hijr kā ġham aisā ek naqshe meñ

vo jis kā naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā hai rahguzar 'āmir'

usī ke 'ishq ko zād-e-safar banānā hai

durun-e-chashm nai chashm-e-tar banana hai

ki aankh ko hi mohabbat ka ghar banana hai

hamare gham ka mudawa na kar sake ye din

sukut-e-shab ko hi ab chaaragar banana hai

ai 'ishq aur guzar apne imtihan se hamein

ye zist aur abhi kargar banana hai

ayan ho hijr ka gham aisa ek naqshe mein

bana na paya abhi tak magar banana hai

wo jis ka naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hai rahguzar 'amir'

usi ke 'ishq ko zad-e-safar banana hai
