munsif ho bhala hukm suna kyon nahin dete
mujrim hun agar main to saza kyon nahin dete

diwar khadi ho gai nafrat ki bahar-su
arbab-e-wafa is ko gira kyon nahin dete

wo khugar-e-dushnam jo aflak-nashin hain
auqat kabhi un ki bata kyon nahin dete

kuchh der ke hi waste hoga to ujala
in jhonpadon mein aag laga kyon nahin dete

phir koi tsunami ki sada gunj rahi hai
khwabida hain jo log jaga kyon nahin dete

ratti rahi bete ki judai pe shab-o-roz
tum shakl zara man ko dikha kyon nahin dete

is se to faqat zakhm hara hota hai 'anjum'
farsuda hikayat bhula kyon nahin dete
