kisi ki anjuman-e-naz mein hua ruswa
main ek rind-e-tarab-gah-e-arzu thahra

wo muskura diya saghar chhalak utha dil ka
nasha chadha to kuchh aisa ki phir utar na saka

kabhi talatum-e-dariya kabhi hai hasrat-e-dil
hamare husn-e-talab ko dua se nisbat kya

khizan ke sar koi ilzam kis liye aae
gale pe ban gaya khanjar bahaar ka sauda

charagh-e-rahguzar shan-e-be-niyazi se
tamam raat hawaon ki zad mein raushan tha

kahan ke dar-o-rasan kushta-e-wafa ke liye
use to kucha-e-jaanan ki lag chuki hai hawa

jabin-e-shauq to rakh di hai aastan pe tere
hawa-e-dil na uda le chale su-e-sahra

wo jis ke husn ka shohra tamam shahr mein hai
suna hai 'anjum'-e-wahshi pe mehrban hua
