betab se betab teri tab le aae

betab se betab teri tab le aae
jina pada aison ko bhi jo ji nahin pae
baaten wahi baaten wo na boli hui baaten
is tezi se lagti hain ki allah bachae


dikhti rahi phaili hui gardun ki siyahi
kitne hi sitare meri aankhon ne ginae
ta'rif bhi aisi hamein karni nahin aai
alfaz bhi aise muta'addid hi banae


yak-lakht undele gae hum hosh mein har bar
jate hue khwabon ko kabhi dekh na pae
jaanoge to jaanam tumhein jaane nahin denge
behtar hai in auham ko jaane diya jae


aawaz se paiwasta ek andaz hai 'amir'
andaz ka andaza magar kaun lagae
