kyun kisi aur ko dukh dard sunaun apne
apni aankhon se bhi main zakhm chhupaun apne

main to qaem hun tere gham ki badaulat warna
yun bikhar jaun ki khud hath na aaun apne

sher logon ke bahut yaad hain auron ke liye
tu mile to main tujhe sher sunaun apne

tere raste ka jo kanta bhi mayassar aae
main use shauq se collar par sajaun apne

sochta hun ki bujha dun mein ye kamre ka diya
apne sae ko bhi kyun sath jagaun apne

us ki talwar ne wo chaal chali hai ab ke
panw katte hain agar hath bachaun apne

aakhiri baat mujhe yaad hai us ki 'anwar'
jaane wale ko gale se na lagaun apne
