is qadar mahw hain kar-e-chaman-arai mein hum
dil ki dhadkan bhi nahin sunte hain tanhai mein hum

dhundte phirte hain ab apne talluq ka sabab
dur tak bikhre hue rah-e-shanasai mein hum

sham ki dhund mein karte hain tasawwur us ka
aur phir sarf bhi hote hain pazirai mein hum

dil ki tanhai se ghabra ke nikal aate hain
warna rahte hain isi dasht ki pahnai mein hum

sher ke moti utha lae hain tah se 'amir'
dur tak utre the is bahr ki gahrai mein hum
