zindagi apni khwab jaisi hai
khub-ru be-naqab jaisi hai

sehn-e-gulshan mein aap ki hasti
shakh par ek gulab jaisi hai

kabhi dubi hai aur kabhi ubhri
aashiqi bhi hubab jaisi hai

hosh mein rah ke bhi hai be-hoshi
zist apni sharab jaisi hai

un ki shokhi to hai bahaar-e-chaman
sadgi mahw-e-khwab jaisi hai

hai karishma ye un ki aankhon ka
khamushi bhi khitab jaisi hai

guzre lamhon ke sath sath 'anwar'
zindagi inqalab jaisi hai
