naqsh pani pe bana ho jaise

naqsh paanī pe banā ho jaise

zindagī mauj-e-balā ho jaise

mujh se bach bach ke chalī hai duniyā

mere nazdīk ḳhudā ho jaise

koī tahrīr mukammal na huī

mujh se har lafz ḳhafā ho jaise

kis qadar shahr meñ sannāTā hai

ab ke koī na bachā ho jaise

is tarah puuj rahī hai duniyā

koī mujh se bhī baḌā ho jaise

raah miltī hai añdheroñ meñ mujhe

koī masrūf-e-duā ho jaise

mujh ko aksar ye huā hai mahsūs

koī kuchh pūchh rahā ho jaise

ghar se is tarah nikal aa.e 'amīr'

koī dushman na rahā ho jaise

naqsh pani pe bana ho jaise

zindagi mauj-e-bala ho jaise

mujh se bach bach ke chali hai duniya

mere nazdik KHuda ho jaise

koi tahrir mukammal na hui

mujh se har lafz KHafa ho jaise

kis qadar shahr mein sannaTa hai

ab ke koi na bacha ho jaise

is tarah puj rahi hai duniya

koi mujh se bhi baDa ho jaise

rah milti hai andheron mein mujhe

koi masruf-e-dua ho jaise

mujh ko aksar ye hua hai mahsus

koi kuchh puchh raha ho jaise

ghar se is tarah nikal aae 'amir'

koi dushman na raha ho jaise
