ek aarzu hi sahi aarzu ki 'adat hai
ki chashm-e-dil ko usi khub-ru ki 'adat hai

na dar ai 'ishq tu jari rakh imtihan apna
janab-e-dil ko zara hao-hu ki 'adat hai

unhin se mujh ko bhi hai shauq zakhm khane ka
laga ke zakhm unhen bhi rafu ki 'adat hai

main kya karun ki meri chup unhen rakhe masrur
main kya kahun ki mujhe guftugu ki 'adat hai

kaha ki mujh ko teri pad gai hai 'adat si
mila jawab tujhe faltu ki 'adat hai

chaman mein paikar-e-khushbu mile kai 'amir'
pa kya karun ki usi mushkbu ki 'adat hai
