dekh le bulbul o parwana ki betabi ko
hijr achchha na hasinon ka visal achchha hai
Ameer Minai
firaq-e-yar ne bechain mujh ko raat bhar rakkha
kabhi takiya idhar rakkha kabhi takiya udhar rakkha
Ameer Minai
furqat mein munh lapeTe main is tarah paDa hun
jis tarah koi murda lipTa hua kafan mein
Ameer Minai
gahe gahe ki mulaqat hi achchhi hai 'amir'
qadr kho deta hai har roz ka aana jaana
Ameer Minai
gard uDi aashiq ki turbat se to jhunjhla kar kaha
wah sar chaDhne lagi panw ki Thukrai hui
Ameer Minai
girah se kuchh nahin jata hai pi bhi le zahid
mile jo muft to qazi ko bhi haram nahin
Ameer Minai
hans ke farmate hain wo dekh ke haalat meri
kyun tum aasan samajhte the mohabbat meri
seeing my condition, she laughs and asks of me
"Easy did you then imagine, loving me would be?"
Ameer Minai
hath rakh kar mere sine pe jigar tham liya
tum ne is waqt to girta hua ghar tham liya
Ameer Minai
hai jawani KHud jawani ka singar
sadgi gahna hai is sin ke liye
youthfullness is itself an ornament forsooth
innocence is the only jewel needed in ones youth
Ameer Minai
