chahe tu shauq se mujhe wahshat-e-dil shikar kar
apno se kat chuka hun main apni ana ubhaar kar

jin ko kaha na ja saka jin ko suna nahin gaya
wo bhi hain kuchh hikayaten un ko bhi tu shumar kar

khud ko aziyyaten na de mujh ko aziyyaten na de
khud pe bhi ikhtiyar rakh mujh pe bhi e'tibar kar

us ke yaqin-e-husn ka husn-e-yaqin to dekhiye
aaina dekhta hai wo apni nazar utar kar

rahen rafiq-e-rah ke shauq ka imtihan hain
jis mein safar tawil ho rasta wo ikhtiyar kar

teri zamin nasib ne tere hunar ko saunp di
khwah chaman bana use khwah tu regzar kar

'anjum' abhi hain rah mein shab ki kadi masafaten
mahr falak par rah gaya din ka safar guzar kar
