haTao aaina ummid-war hum bhi hain
haTāo aa.ina ummīd-vār ham bhī haiñ
tumhāre dekhne vāloñ meñ yaar ham bhī haiñ
taḌap ke ruuh ye kahtī hai hijr-e-jānāñ meñ
ki tere saath dil-e-be-qarār ham bhī haiñ
rahe dimāġh agar āsmāñ pe duur nahīñ
ki tere kūche meñ mast-e-ġhubār ham bhī haiñ
kaho ki naḳhl-e-chaman ham se sar-kashī na kareñ
unhīñ kī tarah se bāġh-o-bahār ham bhī haiñ
hamāre aage zarā ho samajh ke zamzama-sanj
ki ek naġhma-sarā ai hazār ham bhī haiñ
kahāñ tak aa.ine meñ dekh-bhāl idhar dekho
ki ik nigāh ke ummīd-vār ham bhī haiñ
sharāb muñh se lagāte nahīñ haiñ ai zāhid
firāq-e-yār meñ parhez-gār ham bhī haiñ
hamārā naam bhī likh lo jo hai qalam jaarī
qadīm aap ke ḳhidmat-guzār ham bhī haiñ
humā haiñ gird mirī haDDiyoñ ke aaTh pahr
sag aa ke kahte haiñ ummīd-vār ham bhī haiñ
jo laḌkhaḌā ke gire tū qadam pe saaqī ke
'amīr' mast nahīñ hoshyār ham bhī haiñ
haTao aaina ummid-war hum bhi hain
tumhaare dekhne walon mein yar hum bhi hain
taDap ke ruh ye kahti hai hijr-e-jaanan mein
ki tere sath dil-e-be-qarar hum bhi hain
rahe dimagh agar aasman pe dur nahin
ki tere kuche mein mast-e-ghubar hum bhi hain
kaho ki naKHl-e-chaman hum se sar-kashi na karen
unhin ki tarah se bagh-o-bahaar hum bhi hain
hamare aage zara ho samajh ke zamzama-sanj
ki ek naghma-sara ai hazar hum bhi hain
kahan tak aaine mein dekh-bhaal idhar dekho
ki ek nigah ke ummid-war hum bhi hain
sharab munh se lagate nahin hain ai zahid
firaq-e-yar mein parhez-gar hum bhi hain
hamara nam bhi likh lo jo hai qalam jari
qadim aap ke KHidmat-guzar hum bhi hain
huma hain gird meri haDDiyon ke aaTh pahr
sag aa ke kahte hain ummid-war hum bhi hain
jo laDkhaDa ke gire tu qadam pe saqi ke
'amir' mast nahin hoshyar hum bhi hain
