Labon pe phool khiltay hain kisi ke naam se pahle dilon ke deep jalte hain charagh-e-shaam se pahle

Labon pe phool khiltay hain kisi ke naam se pahle

dilon ke deep jalte hain charagh-e-shaam se pahle

kabhi manzar badalne par bhi qissa chal nahin pata

kahani khatam hoti hai kabhi anjaam se pahle

yahi taare tumhaari aankh ki chilman mein rehte the

yahi sooraj nikalta thaa tumhare baam se pahle

hui hai shaam jungle main parinde lautt'e honge

ab in ko kis tarah rokain nawaah-e-daam se pahle

ya saare rang murdaa the tumhaari shakal banne tak

ya saare harf muhmal the tumhaare naam se pahle

huaa hai wo agar munsif tou Amjad ihtiyatan ham

sazaa tasleem karte hain kisi ilzam se pahle
