kuchh abruon pe bal bhi hain khanda-labi ke sath
farma rahe hain jaur magar dil-kashi ke sath

shamil ho gar na gham ki khalish zindagi ke sath
rakkhe na koi rabt-e-mohabbat kisi ke sath

is ehtimam-e-jashn-e-mashiyyat ko kya kahun
paida kiya hai dard dil-e-admi ke sath

jine na den hayat ki paiham shararten
insan jo khud sharir na ho zindagi ke sath

har gam par hai laghzish-e-pa ka bhi ek khatar
chaliye rah-e-wafa mein salamat-rawi ke sath

mumkin hai mil hi jae maqam-e-sukun kahin
ta marg ham-rikab raho zindagi ke sath

ba-wasf-e-zikr-e-kausar-o-tasnim kis liye
waiz ko zid hai mashghala-e-mai-kashi ke sath

malum us ki talkhi-e-anjam hai magar
'anwar' bila khulus na miliye kisi ke sath
