nagri nagri ghum rahe hain ulfat ke diwane chand
panw shikasta tan zakhmi hain hathon mein paimane chand

jiti dhup sisakti aahen jehd-e-musalsal zakhm-e-dil
hae re us mazdur ki haalat jis ki qismat dane chand

aisa kal na dekha hum ne waise dekhe kal bahut
maikhane mein sab hi pyase lekin hain paimane chand

hum se ruth ke jaane wale apna tasawwur rahne de
hum ne bune hain jiwan bhar mein khwab ke tane-bane chand

han ai chaaragaro meri barbaadi ka saman karo
khun-e-tamanna ki surkhi se saj jaen kashane chand

gham ki tapish ne bahte aansu khushk kiye hain ai 'anjum'
girya-e-shabnam gulshan gulshan phir bhi bharen paimane chand
