ek shikayat hai hamein us girya-e-ghammaz se
hae un ko kar diya aagah dil ke raaz se

hain tere anjam mein hirman-o-hasrat hi nihan
ye ayan hai qissa-e-ulfat tere aaghaz se

bad-gumani is dil-e-majruh par fariyaad ki
kab sada-e-soz aati hai shikasta saz se

kya ghazab hain us ke barq-e-husn ki tabaniyan
ek ujala sa huwaida hai jabin-e-naz se

teri jumbish ke main sadqe ai lab-e-moajiz-numa
khuft-gan-e-bakht jag utthe teri aawaz se

meri barq-e-ah dil mein hi tadap kar rah gai
murgh-e-bismil ki tarah na-ashna parwaz se

hai shab-e-gham mein faqat us ka tasawwur hi 'anis'
aao kuchh baaten hi kar len hamdam-o-hamraaz se
