'anjum' pe jo guzar gai us ka bhala hisab kya
puchhe koi sawal kya laenge hum jawab kya

khun-e-dil-o-jigar se hai husn-e-khayal husn-e-fan
is ke baghair sher kya majmua kya kitab kya

tera hi nam le liya waqt-e-ishaat-e-kalam
is ke alawa aur hum dhundte intisab kya

teri hi be-rukhi se to tuta hai dil abhi abhi
ab iltifat-e-be-mahl ho sake kaamyab kya

hum to chaman chaman gae dil na shagufta ho saka
nasrin-o-nastaran hai kya lala hai kya gulab kya

tum ko bhi ranj isi se hai hum bhi kuchh is se khush nahin
aur kharab is se bhi hoga dil-e-kharab kya

'anjum' ne aankh khol ke dard-o-alam jo dekhe hain
auron ne khwab mein agar dekhe to aise khwab kya
