hum to darte hi rahe dasht ki virani se
us ne ye hijr bhi kata badi aasani se

yun tawajjoh teri hasil hai ki hum sahra-naward
mar hi jaen na mohabbat ki farawani se

apne saudai ke haalat bhi ab dekh kabhi
kis qadar khush hai tere gham ki nigahbani se

ye rah-e-'ishq hai sanbhle to phisal jaoge
kaam lete hain yahan 'aql ka nadani se

apni khushiyon se koi khush nahin hota 'amir'
ab khushi hoti hai auron ki pareshani se
