sitaron ki ginti hai hum jaante hain
abhi raat baqi hai hum jaante hain

ye shohrat majazi hai hum jaante hain
ki hai bhi nahin bhi hai hum jaante hain

bahut sari achchhi si khush-fahmiyon ki
jo qimat ada ki hai hum jaante hain

gulistan nazare darakht ek mahram
jo dil pe guzarti hai hum jaante hain

ye zulf-e-khayal-e-khata hai na kholo
ye khul kar jo karti hai hum jaante hain

ye zat-e-khuda hai ye dikhti hai dekho
magar kis ne dekhi hai hum jaante hain

ba-yak-waqt zabt-o-hawas kar ke 'amir'
tabiat jo bigdi hai hum jaante hain
