kab se hum log is bhanwar mein hain
apne ghar mein hain ya safar mein hain

yun to udne ko aasman hain bahut
hum hi aashob-e-baal-o-par mein hain

zindagi ke tamam-tar raste
maut hi ke azim dar mein hain

itne khadshe nahin hain raston mein
jis qadar khwahish-e-safar mein hain

sip aur jauhari ke sab rishte
sher aur sher ke hunar mein hain

saya-e-rahat-e-shajar se nikal
kuchh udanen jo baal-o-par mein hain

aks be-naqsh ho gae 'amjad'
log phir aainon ke dar mein hain
