gham mein jo shad-kaam hote hain
qabil-e-ehtiram hote hain

rahm lutf-o-karam taras ehsan
zulm ke kitne nam hote hain

shikwa-e-gham jahan hai su-e-adab
aise bhi kuchh maqam hote hain

taj-dari wo kya karenge jo
khwahishon ke ghulam hote hain

ehtiyaton ke shahr mein 'anwar'
hadse subh-o-sham hote hain
