dam-e-khushbu mein giraftar saba hai kab se
lafz izhaar ki uljhan mein pada hai kab se

ai kadi chup ke dar o baam sajaane wale
muntazir koi sar-e-koh-e-nida hai kab se

chand bhi meri tarah husn-shanasa nikla
us ki diwar pe hairan khada hai kab se

baat karta hun to lafzon se mahak aati hai
koi anfas ke parde mein chhupa hai kab se

shobada-bazi-e-aina-e-ehsas na puchh
hairat-e-chashm wahi shokh qaba hai kab se

dekhiye khun ki barsat kahan hoti hai
shahr par chhai hui surkh ghata hai kab se

kor-chashmon ke liye aaina-khana malum
warna har zarra tera aks-numa hai kab se

khoj mein kis ki bhara shahr laga hai 'amjad'
dhundti kis ko sar-e-dasht hawa hai kab se
