Teri zat se nikalna chahta hai
ye dariya rukh badalana chahata hai
vo sapna jis ki surat hi nahi hai
meri ankhon main chalna chahta hai
dilon ki mandagi pe kya ta'ajjub
k suraj bhi to dhalna chahta hai
nashist-e-dard badali hai to ab dil
zara pahlu badalna chahta hai
mujhe bhi samana hai karbala ka
mera sar bhi uchalna chahta hai
nahi hai tarjuman-e-gam ye ansu
ye pani ab ubalna chahta hai
tabassum zer-e-lab kahta hai 'Amjad'
koi jazba machalna chahta hai
