samajhte hain jo kamtar har kisi ko
wo samjhen to sahi apni kami ko

jahan mein juz gham-o-ranj-o-musibat
mila bhi hai azizo kuchh kisi ko

kahen bhi to kahen ab kya kisi se
sunaen to sunaen kya kisi ko

haqiqat mein nahin bante kisi ke
banate hain jo apna har kisi ko

na pa-e-raftan ab ne ja-e-madin
kahan tak roen apni bebasi ko

tajjub hai samajhne par bhi sab kuchh
na samjha aadmi ne aadmi ko

ziya-e-hazrat-e-'anwar' ne 'rifat'
jila bakhshi hai meri shairi ko
