naz par ye gudaz kaise hai
tu haqiqat majaz kaise hai

mujh ko dhadkan ka hai sada dhadka
na dhadakne se baz kaise hai

ye jahan hai jahan bhi dekhoge
phir nasheb-o-faraaz kaise hai

koi kufa-o-karbala mein shahid
koi mahmud ayaz kaise hai

zindagi ka ya maut ka ho shuur
ye mujhe be-riyaz kaise hai

ai mere khwab tu agar hai guman
tu haqiqat-nawaz kaise hai

jab nahin hai kisi ko mera lihaz
mujh ko sab ka lihaz kaise hai

jo nahin waqt katte katta
haal ka imtiyaz kaise hai

rashk-e-makhluq aadmi 'amir'
ek qalam ki bayaz kaise hai
