kisi ki aankh mein KHud ko talash karna hai
kisī kī aañkh meñ ḳhud ko talāsh karnā hai
phir us ke ba.ad hameñ ā.inoñ se Darnā hai
falak kī band galī ke faqīr haiñ tāre!
ki ghuum phir ke yahīñ se unheñ guzarnā hai
jo zindagī thī mirī jaan! tere saath ga.ī
bas ab to umr ke naqshe meñ vaqt bharnā hai
jo tum chalo to abhī do qadam meñ kaT jaa.e
jo fāsla mujhe sadiyoñ meñ paar karnā hai
to kyuuñ na aaj yahīñ par qayām ho jaa.e
ki shab qarīb hai āḳhir kahīñ Thaharnā hai
vo merā sail-e-talab ho ki terī ra.anā.ī
chaḌhā hai jo bhī samundar use utarnā hai
sahar huī to sitāroñ ne muuñd liiñ āñkheñ
vo kyā kareñ ki jinheñ intizār karnā hai
ye ḳhvāb hai ki haqīqat ḳhabar nahīñ 'amjad'
magar hai jiinā yahīñ par yahīñ pe marnā hai
kisi ki aankh mein KHud ko talash karna hai
phir us ke baad hamein aainon se Darna hai
falak ki band gali ke faqir hain tare!
ki ghum phir ke yahin se unhen guzarna hai
jo zindagi thi meri jaan! tere sath gai
bas ab to umr ke naqshe mein waqt bharna hai
jo tum chalo to abhi do qadam mein kaT jae
jo fasla mujhe sadiyon mein par karna hai
to kyun na aaj yahin par qayam ho jae
ki shab qarib hai aaKHir kahin Thaharna hai
wo mera sail-e-talab ho ki teri ranai
chaDha hai jo bhi samundar use utarna hai
sahar hui to sitaron ne mund lin aankhen
wo kya karen ki jinhen intizar karna hai
ye KHwab hai ki haqiqat KHabar nahin 'amjad'
magar hai jina yahin par yahin pe marna hai
