badhi jo had se to sare tilism tod gai
wo khush-dili jo dilon ko dilon se jod gai

abad ki rah pe be-khwab dhadkanon ki dhamak
jo so gae unhen bujhte jagon mein chhod gai

ye zindagi ki lagan hai ki rat-jagon ki tarang
jo jagte the unhi ko ye dhun jhinjhod gai

wo ek tis jise tera nam yaad raha
kabhi kabhi to mere dil ka sath chhod gai

ruka ruka tere lab par ajab sukhan tha koi
teri nigah bhi jise na-tamam chhod gai

faraaz-e-dil se utarti hui nadi 'amjad'
jahan jahan tha hasin wadiyon ka mod gai
