chaa.nd ke saath ka_ii dard puraane nikale
kitane gam the jo tere gam ke bahaane nikale

fasl-e gul aa_ii phir ik baar asiiraan-e-vafaa
apane hii khuun ke dariyaa me.n nahaane nikale

hijr ki chot ajab sang-shikan hotii hai
dil kii befaiz zamiino.n se khazaane nikale

umr guzarii hai shab-e-taar me.n aa.nkhe.n malate
kis ufaq se meraa khurshiid na jaane nikale

kuu-e-qaatil me.n chale jaise shahiido.n kaa juluus
khvaab yuu.n bhiigatii aa.nkho.n ko sajaane nikale

dil ne ik ii.nt se taamiir kiyaa taaj mahal
tuu ne ik baat kahii laakh fasaane nikale

dasht-e tanhaa_ii-e-hijraa.n me.n kha.daa sochataa huu.n
haaye kyaa log meraa saath nibhaane nikale

mai.n ne 'amjad' use bevaastaa dekhaa hii nahii.n
vo to khushbuu me.n bhii aahat ke bahaane nikale
