jo din tha ek musibat to raat bhaari thi
jo din thā ek musībat to raat bhārī thī
guzārnī thī magar zindagī, guzārī thī
savād-e-shauq meñ aise bhī kuchh maqām aa.e
na mujh ko apnī ḳhabar thī na kuchh tumhārī thī
larazte hāthoñ se dīvār lipTī jaatī thī
na pūchh kis tarah tasvīr vo utārī thī
jo pyaar ham ne kiyā thā vo kārobār na thā
na tum ne jiitī ye baazī na maiñ ne haarī thī
tavāf karte the us kā bahār ke manzar
jo dil kī sej pe utrī ajab savārī thī
tumhārā aanā bhī achchhā nahīñ lagā mujh ko
fasurdagī sī ajab aaj dil pe taarī thī
kisī bhī zulm pe koī bhī kuchh na kahtā thā
na jaane kaun sī jaañ thī jo itnī pyārī thī
hujūm baḌhtā chalā jaatā thā sar-e-mahfil
baḌe rasān se qātil kī mashq jaarī thī
tamāshā dekhne vāloñ ko kaun batlātā
ki is ke ba.ad inhī meñ kisī kī baarī thī
vo is tarah thā mire bāzuoñ ke halqe meñ
na dil ko chain thā 'amjad' na be-qarārī thī
jo din tha ek musibat to raat bhaari thi
guzarni thi magar zindagi, guzari thi
sawad-e-shauq mein aise bhi kuchh maqam aae
na mujh ko apni KHabar thi na kuchh tumhaari thi
larazte hathon se diwar lipTi jati thi
na puchh kis tarah taswir wo utari thi
jo pyar hum ne kiya tha wo karobar na tha
na tum ne jiti ye bazi na main ne haari thi
tawaf karte the us ka bahaar ke manzar
jo dil ki sej pe utri ajab sawari thi
tumhaara aana bhi achchha nahin laga mujh ko
fasurdagi si ajab aaj dil pe tari thi
kisi bhi zulm pe koi bhi kuchh na kahta tha
na jaane kaun si jaan thi jo itni pyari thi
hujum baDhta chala jata tha sar-e-mahfil
baDe rasan se qatil ki mashq jari thi
tamasha dekhne walon ko kaun batlata
ki is ke baad inhi mein kisi ki bari thi
wo is tarah tha mere bazuon ke halqe mein
na dil ko chain tha 'amjad' na be-qarari thi
