nahin nam-o-nishan sae ka lekin yar baithe hain
uge shayad zamin se khud-ba-khud diwar baithe hain

sawar-e-kashti-e-amwaj-e-dil hain aur ghafil hain
samajhte hain ki hum dariya-e-gham ke par baithe hain

ujad aisi na thi duniya abhi kal tak ye aalam tha
yahan do-chaar baithe hain wahan do-chaar baithe hain

phir aati hai isi sahra se aawaz-e-jaras mujh ko
jahan majnun se diwane bhi himmat haar baithe hain

samajhte ho jinhen tum sang-e-mil ai qafile walo
sar-e-rah khastgan-e-hasrat-raftar baithe hain

ye jitne masale hain mashghale hain sab faraghat ke
na tum be-kar baithe ho na hum be-kar baithe hain

tumhein 'anjum' koi us se tawaqqo ho to ho warna
yahan to aadmi ki shakl se be-zar baithe hain
