ayan donon se takmil-e-jahan hai
zamin gum ho to phir kya aasman hai

tilsmati koi qissa hai duniya
yahan har din nai ek dastan hai

jo tum ho to ye kaise man lun main
ki jo kuchh hai yahan bas ek guman hai

saron par aasman hote hue bhi
jise dekho wahi be-saeban hai

kisi dharti ki shayad ret hogi
hamare waste jo kahkashan hai

agar tha chand-roza mausam-e-gul
to phir do chaar hi din ki khizan hai

jise umr-e-rawan kahte hain 'amabar'
chalo dekhen kahan tak raegan hai
