e'tibar-e-shauq ek dhoka sahi
e'tibar-e-shauq par hai zindagi

suni yaado tum se pahlu hai basa
suni yaado tum se kya pahlu-tahi

dil hua chhalni to naghme chhan pade
bans mein rauzan pade to bansuri

be-kasi mein bhi bada kas-bal hai dost
maut kya hai zist ko thukra ke ji

hum khuda bhi man lenge aap ko
aap pahle ho to jaen aadmi

kya yad-e-baiza se kam hai dagh-e-dil
moajaza rakhta hun 'amir'-muswi
