dil se kisi ki yaad bhulane chala tha main
jalta hua charagh bujhane chala tha main

sharminda hun ye kah ke ulat dijiye naqab
mahshar se pahle hashr uthane chala tha main

ya-rab junun-e-ishq ne pahuncha diya kahan
kanton ko bhi gale se lagane chala tha main

qismat se aise daur bhi guzre hain barha
apne chaman ko aag lagane chala tha main

gham aur itna gham ki sukun nam ko nahin
aur apne dil ko us pe hansane chala tha main

allah mere kufr-e-mohabbat ki khair ho
but ke qadam pe sar ko jhukane chala tha main

bijli chamak ke meri nazar se guzar gai
'anwar' jab aashiyana banane chala tha main
