dhup aati nahin rukh apna badal kar dekhen
chadhte suraj ki taraf hum bhi to chal kar dekhen

baat kuchh hogi yaqinan jo ye hote hain nisar
hum bhi ek roz kisi shama pe jal kar dekhen

sahib-e-jubba-o-dastar se kah de koi
is bulandi pe wo dekhen to sambhal kar dekhen

kya ajab hai ki ye mutthi mein hamari aa jae
aasman ki taraf ek bar uchhal kar dekhen

dagh daman pe kisi ke na koi hath hi tar
kyun na chehre pe lahu apna hi mal kar dekhen

kis tarah samt-e-mukhalif mein safar karte hain hum
bahte dhaare se kabhi aap nikal kar dekhen

khak mein mil ke fana honge jo moti hain yahan
jab bhi ji chahe ye aankhon se ubal kar dekhen

yak-ba-yak jaan se guzarna to hai aasan 'anjum'
qatra qatra kai qiston mein pighal kar dekhen
