jo barishon mein jale tund aandhiyon mein jale
charagh wo jo bagulon ki chimniyon mein jale

wo log the jo fareb-e-nazar ke matwale
tamam umr sarabon ke paniyon mein jale

kuchh is tarah se lagi aag baadbanon ko
ki dubne ko bhi tarse jo kashtiyon mein jale

yahi hai faisla tera ki jo tujhe chahe
wo dard-o-karb-o-alam ki kathaaliyon mein jale

dam-e-firaq ye mana wo muskuraya tha
magar wo dip ki chupke se ankhdiyon mein jale

wo jhil jhil mein jhurmut na the sitaron ke
charagh the ki jo chandi ki thaaliyon mein jale

dhuan dhuan hai darakhton ki dastan 'anwar'
ki jangalon mein pale aur bastiyon mein jale
