guzar ko hai bahut auqat thodi
ki hai ye tul qissa raat thodi

jo mai zahid ne mangi mast bole
bahut ya qibla-e-hajat thodi

kahan ghuncha kahan us ka dahan tang
badhai shaeron ne baat thodi

uthe kya zanu-e-gham se sar apna
bahut guzri rahi haihat thodi

khayal-e-zabt-e-girya hai jo hum ko
bahut imsal hai barsat thodi

pilae le ke naqd-e-hosh saqi
tahi-daston ki hai auqat thodi

wahi hai aasman par ganj-e-anjum
mili thi jo teri khairaat thodi

tera ai dukht-e-raz wasif hai waiz
pae-hurmat hai itni baat thodi

chalo manzil 'amir' aankhen to kholo
nihayat rah gai hai raat thodi
