kyun khafa hum se ho khata kya hai
ye to farmaiye hua kya hai

husn kya husn ki ada kya hai
us ke jalwon ka dekhna kya hai

ek aalam hai sirf mai-noshi
nigah-e-mast majra kya hai

nichi nazron se kar diya ghayal
ab ye samjhe ki ye haya kya hai

jaan dena hai ain maqsad-e-ishq
un ko andaza-e-wafa kya hai

hum se barham raqib se shadan
kahiye kahiye ye majra kya hai

jin ki hasti hai ek sharar ki misal
aise taron ka dubna kya hai

aariz-e-yar ke muqabil ho
mahr-e-taban ka hausla kya hai

khun aashiq hai ya hina ka rang
mere qatil ye zer-e-pa kya hai

khud hi gum ho ke rah gae 'anwar'
hasil-e-justuju hua kya hai
