ba-roz-e-hashr mera ehtisab kya hoga
ki is zamin ke siwa aur azab kya hoga

mudam fikr mein be-aql ka tasalsul-e-kar
kitab-e-zist ka aainda bab kya hoga

jawan dilon mein faqat nafraten hi milti hain
ziyaada is se koi inqalab kya hoga

ata kiya mah-e-kaamil ko ishraton ka ghurur
andheri raat se badh kar azab kya hoga

tilism-e-kaif-o-nazar muddaa-e-be-khabari
tilism-e-hosh-o-khirad ka nisab kya hoga

gunahgar nazar bhi hai dil ki dhadkan bhi
wo puchh lenge to mera jawab kya hoga

ba-faiz-e-jurat-e-rindana dekhna to 'anis'
ada-shanason ka tujh par itab kya hoga
