mizan-e-waqiat mein tola nahin gaya
mīzān-e-vāqi.āt meñ tolā nahīñ gayā
itnā vo nā-sipās thā likkhā nahīñ gayā
ḳhushbū kī aarzū meñ sazā qaid kī huī
sahrā uThā ke laa.e to pūchhā nahīñ gayā
yuuñ bhī maiñ apne baare meñ kuchh likh nahīñ sakā
lafzoñ kā shor aisā thā sochā nahīñ gayā
donoñ ko fart-e-shauq ne lab-basta kar diyā
vo chup rahā to ham se bhī bolā nahīñ gayā
qarz-e-firāq maiñ ne mukammal chukā diyā
lekin mire hisāb se kaaTā nahīñ gayā
kaise bhalā fasāne meñ sach kī talāsh ho
lafzoñ kā her-pher hī pakḌā nahīñ gayā
aise safar-nasīb haiñ pushtoñ se ham 'amīr'
ab tak hamāre paañv kā chhālā nahīñ gayā
mizan-e-waqiat mein tola nahin gaya
itna wo na-sipas tha likkha nahin gaya
KHushbu ki aarzu mein saza qaid ki hui
sahra uTha ke lae to puchha nahin gaya
yun bhi main apne bare mein kuchh likh nahin saka
lafzon ka shor aisa tha socha nahin gaya
donon ko fart-e-shauq ne lab-basta kar diya
wo chup raha to hum se bhi bola nahin gaya
qarz-e-firaq main ne mukammal chuka diya
lekin mere hisab se kaTa nahin gaya
kaise bhala fasane mein sach ki talash ho
lafzon ka her-pher hi pakDa nahin gaya
aise safar-nasib hain pushton se hum 'amir'
ab tak hamare panw ka chhaala nahin gaya
