jo chhanw deta hai mujh ko ghana shajar ban kar
main us ka sath nibhati hun us ka ghar ban kar

faza-e-ilm-o-hunar ras aa gai hai mujhe
khuda kare ki rahun harf-e-mo'tabar ban kar

tu chand hai to dua hai kabhi ghurub na ho
ufuq mein main bhi rahun matla-e-sahar ban kar

ghalat samajhti thi main us ko raazdan apna
jo ek saya sa ubhra tha ham-safar ban kar

ummid-o-bim se jab aazad ho gai 'amabar'
to kaamyab hui sahib-e-nazar ban kar
