durun-e-chashm nai chashm-e-tar banana hai
ki aankh ko hi mohabbat ka ghar banana hai

hamare gham ka mudawa na kar sake ye din
sukut-e-shab ko hi ab chaaragar banana hai

ai 'ishq aur guzar apne imtihan se hamein
ye zist aur abhi kargar banana hai

ayan ho hijr ka gham aisa ek naqshe mein
bana na paya abhi tak magar banana hai

wo jis ka naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hai rahguzar 'amir'
usi ke 'ishq ko zad-e-safar banana hai
