jab tak fasil-e-jism ka dar khul na jaega
is dil ki yurishon ka tasalsul na jaega

khemon se ta-furaat jo dariya-e-khun hai ye
us par se maslahat ka koi pul na jaega

us ko guman nahin tha ki ahd-e-khizan mein bhi
ye zauq-e-naghma-rezi-e-bulbul na jaega

ye abr-e-agahi jo barasta raha yunhi
mitti ka ye wajud mera ghul na jaega

girta rahega yunhi balaon ka aabshaar
jab tak ghubar-e-qalb-o-nazar dhul na jaega

wo shakhs to khudai ke dawe pe tul gaya
is had pe hum samajhte the bilkul na jaega

bas ai nigar-e-zist yaqin aa gaya hamein
ye teri be-rukhi ye tammul na jaega

'anjum' nigar-e-zist ko phir chahiye wahi
ek sar jo khwahishon ke ewaz tul na jaega
