guzar ko hai bahut auqat thoDi

guzar ko hai bahut auqāt thoḌī

ki hai ye tuul qissa raat thoḌī

jo mai zāhid ne māñgī mast bole

bahut yā qibla-e-hājāt thoḌī

kahāñ ġhuncha kahāñ us kā dahan tañg

baḌhā.ī shā.eroñ ne baat thoḌī

uThe kyā zānū-e-ġham se sar apnā

bahut guzrī rahī haihāt thoḌī

ḳhayāl-e-zabt-e-girya hai jo ham ko

bahut imsāl hai barsāt thoḌī

pilā.e le ke naqd-e-hosh saaqī

tahī-dastoñ kī hai auqāt thoḌī

vahī hai āsmāñ par ganj-e-anjum

milī thī jo tirī ḳhairāt thoḌī

tirā ai duḳht-e-raz vāsif hai vaa.iz

pa.e-hurmat hai itnī baat thoḌī

chalo manzil 'amīr' āñkheñ to kholo

nihāyat rah ga.ī hai raat thoḌī

guzar ko hai bahut auqat thoDi

ki hai ye tul qissa raat thoDi

jo mai zahid ne mangi mast bole

bahut ya qibla-e-hajat thoDi

kahan ghuncha kahan us ka dahan tang

baDhai shaeron ne baat thoDi

uThe kya zanu-e-gham se sar apna

bahut guzri rahi haihat thoDi

KHayal-e-zabt-e-girya hai jo hum ko

bahut imsal hai barsat thoDi

pilae le ke naqd-e-hosh saqi

tahi-daston ki hai auqat thoDi

wahi hai aasman par ganj-e-anjum

mili thi jo teri KHairaat thoDi

tera ai duKHt-e-raz wasif hai waiz

pae-hurmat hai itni baat thoDi

chalo manzil 'amir' aankhen to kholo

nihayat rah gai hai raat thoDi
