kis qadar maila dil ka darpan hai
aadmi aadmi ka dushman hai

kah rahi hai ye waqt ki raftar
zindagi zindagi ka madfan hai

chahte hain ki ek ho jaen
kya karen dil hamara dushman hai

ab sadaqat pe hai yaqin kahan
jhut ka bolna bada-pan hai

raqs uryaniyat ka hai har-su
ahd-e-hazir ka ye naya-pan hai

khair mere safar ki ho ya-rab
ham-safar aaj mera rahzan hai

baat jitni badi ho sach ye hai
us mein itna hi khokhla-pan hai

hath nafrat se kyon milate ho
ye to zahrile nag ka phan hai

tirgi ka nahin hai khauf mujhe
mere hathon mein un ka daman hai

wo khafa kya hue ki ai 'anjum'
suna suna sa dil ka aangan hai
