waqt ki intiha talak waqt ki jast 'amir-imam'
hast ki bud 'amir-imam' bud ki hast 'amir-imam'

hijr ka mahtab hai nind na koi khwab hai
tishna-labi sharab hai nashshe mein mast 'amir-imam'

sakht bahut hai marhala dekhiye kya ho faisla
tegh-ba-kaf haqiqaten qalb-ba-dast 'amir-imam'

zakhm bahut mile magar aaj bhi hai uthae sar
dekh jahan-e-fitna-gar teri shikast 'amir-imam'

us ke tamam ham-safar nind ke sath ja chuke
khwab-kade mein rah gaya khwab-parast 'amir-imam'
