jo chot khane se dar rahe hain
wahi shajar be-samar rahe hain

wo chahte hain mujhe darana
jo mere zer-e-asar rahe hain

jinhen sikhaya tha hum ne udna
wo par hamare katar rahe hain

suna hai wo ab to guftugu bhi
hamare lahje mein kar rahe hain

parinde shohrat ke rafta rafta
bulandiyon se utar rahe hain

wo aa rahe hain khabar chali hai
sabhi ke chehre sanwar rahe hain

wo tak rahe hain mujhe musalsal
bahut se chehre utar rahe hain

waqia kitne ye qaid-khane
yahan pe ahl-e-nazar rahe hain

ye maut hairat-zada hai 'anjum'
ki log jine pe mar rahe hain
