ghazal kahun ki tujhe hasil-e-ghazal likhun
main lafz likhun magar phir badal badal likhun

tumhaare sath jo lamhe nasib mein aae
unhen main umr kahun aur ek pal likhun

abad qarar dun chahat ki har nishani ko
main tere pyar ko sarmaya-e-azal likhun

teri nazar ke badalte hue ishaaron ko
main tera aaj kahun aur apna kal likhun

likhun to likhta chala jaun ishq ki zid hai
hai maslahat ka taqaza sambhal sambhal likhun

wo meri ruh mein shamil hai is tarah 'anwar'
bin us ke zist faqat sans ka amal likhun
