ishq ke marahil mein wo bhi waqt aata hai
aafaten barasti hain dil sukun pata hai
aazmaishen ai dil sakht hi sahi lekin
ye nasib kya kam hai koi aazmata hai
umr jitni badhti hai aur ghatti jati hai
sans jo bhi aata hai lash ban ke jata hai
aablon ka shikwa kya thokaron ka gham kaisa
aadmi mohabbat mein sab ko bhul jata hai
kar-zar-e-hasti mein izz-o-jah ki daulat
bhik bhi nahin milti aadmi kamata hai
apni qabr mein tanha aaj tak gaya hai kaun
daftar-e-amal 'amir' sath sath jata hai
