koi aaj wajh-e-junun chahta hun
tumhein bhul kar main sukun chahta hun

zamane ki haalat se waqif hun phir bhi
na jaane ki main tum ko kyun chahta hun

tumhaari khushi par tumhein chhod kar ab
tumhaari khushi mein sukun chahta hun

khafa tum se ho kar khafa tum ko kar ke
mazaq-e-hunar kuchh fuzun chahta hun

wara-e-mohabbat bhi ek zindagi hai
tumhein phir bhi main kya kahun chahta hun

sitam kar ke lutf-e-karam puchhte hain
ye tarz-e-karam ab fuzun chahta hun

badalti nahin fitrat-e-dard 'anwar'
sukun bhi ye tarz-e-junun chahta hun
