ajab tha zoam ki bazm-e-aza sajaenge
mere harif lahu ke diye jalaenge

main tajrabon ki aziyyat kise kise samjhaun
ki tere baad bhi mujh par azab aaenge

bas ek sajda-e-tazim ke taqabul mein
kahan kahan wo jabin-e-talab jhukaenge

atash atash ki sadaen uthi samundar se
to dasht-e-pyas ke chashme kahan lagaenge

chhupa ke rakh to liya hai sharar-e-bu-lahbi
dhuan utha to nazar tak mila na paenge

daraaz karte raho dast-e-haq-shanas apna
bahut hua to wo neze pe sar uthaenge

nawah-e-lafz-o-maani mein gunj hai kis ki
koi batae ye 'amjad' ki hum bataenge
