Kya Hua Humse Jo Duniya Bad-guman Hone Lagi

kya hua hum se jo duniya bad-guman hone lagi

apni hasti aur bhi nazdik-e-jaan hone lagi

dhire dhire sar mein aa kar bhar gaya barson ka shor

rafta rafta aarzu-e-dil dhuan hone lagi

bagh se aae ho mera ghar bhi chal kar dekh lo

ab bahaaron ke dinon mein bhi KHizan hone lagi

chand logon ki faraghat shahr ka chehra nahin

ye haqiqat sab ke chehron se ayan hone lagi

yaad hai ab tak kisi ke sath ek sham-e-visal

phir wo raaten jab dam-e-ruKHsat azan hone lagi

baad-e-nafrat phir mohabbat ko zaban darkar hai

phir aziz-e-jaan wahi urdu zaban hone lagi

zikr tufan-e-hawadis ka chhiDa jo ek din

hote hote dastan meri bayan hone lagi

saKHt manzil kaT kar hum jab hue kuchh sust-pa

tez-rau kuchh aur bhi umr-e-rawan hone lagi

chhu rahi hai aasmanon ki bulandi phir nazar

phir hamari zindagi anjum-nishan hone lagi

lo yaqin aaya ki dil ke dard ki tasir hai

ab to ek ek chiz hum se ham-zaban hone lagi

ghar ki mehnat se meri raushan hue aiwan-e-zar

raushni honi kahan thi aur kahan hone lagi

sach kahun 'amir' ki ab us daur mein jite ho tum

rasm-e-ulfat bhi jahan sud o ziyan hone lagi
