badan ke pas khushi ki asas ho kar bhi
rakha hai gham se talluq udas ho kar bhi

zalil jab se kiya hai amir logon ne
nahin wo mangta kuchh bhuk pyas ho kar bhi

na kaam-kaj na roti so chal pade paidal
qadam ruke hi kahan itni yas ho kar bhi

hui hai rang-e-mohabbat mein titliyon ki numud
badan ne dekh liya bad-hawas ho kar bhi

ghurur toda hai rawan ka mere angad ne
hila sake na jo pa ko pachas ho kar bhi

asar mein sara zamana waba ke hai lekin
gira na hausla khauf-o-hiras ho kar bhi

kisi ki mast-nigahi ne kar diya be-khud
lagaya us ko gale na-shanas ho kar bhi

yun to guzarte hai achchhe bure hazaron khayal
milega kya tumhein 'anwar' udas ho kar bhi
