koshish-e-zabt nahin ai dil-e-nashad nahin
iltija apni hadon mein ho to fariyaad nahin

qissa-e-dard kisi aur ki rudad nahin
ek meri hi ghazal hai jo mujhe yaad nahin

chot kha kar bhi labon par mere fariyaad nahin
aur kya hai jo ye taufiq-e-khuda-dad nahin

tum kabhi pursish-e-haalat ki zahmat to karo
kaun si baat hai aisi jo mujhe yaad nahin

kis qadar tul thi miad-e-asiri tauba
ab bhi ye wahm sa hota hai ki aazad nahin

tu ne kis ke liye kanton ko sajaya tu jaan
main ne kyon phul chune the ye mujhe yaad nahin

yun to har rang mein hai tere karam ki tarikh
qabil-e-zikr koi baat mujhe yaad nahin

apne hi sae mein guzra hun har ek daur se main
tum mere sath kahan tak the mujhe yaad nahin

raat-din sarf-e-ibaadat to nahin hai 'anjum'
lekin un mein bhi nahin jin ko khuda yaad nahin
