hadis-e-ishq ko unwan la-jawab mila
mujhe nigah mili hai use shabab mila

hamein nasib se quran la-jawab mila
waraq jahan se khula zindagi ka bab mila

khuda ke fazl se juya-e-ilm-o-danihs ko
nabi sa shahr mila aur ali sa bab mila

gunahgar hamin the tamam khilqat mein
hamein ko ashraf-e-makhluq ka khitab mila

bas ek khwab ki tabir dhundhte guzri
tamam-umr ka hasil bas ek khwab mila

jhuki jhuki si nigahon mein iztirab nihan
na jaane kitne hijabon mein be-hijab mila

jamal-e-yar ki ranaiyon mein aakhir-e-shab
kahin ye kahkashan thi kahin shahab mila

zamin-e-sher hui aaftab-e-burj-e-sharaf
'anis' fan mein tere lutf-e-bu-turab mila

sukhan samajhte hain 'jafar'-raza kai ahbab
jo rah-e-shauq mein naghmat ka sarab mila
