nigah-e-yas se jo ashk ke gauhar nikalte hain
wo khun-e-arzu se surkh-ru ho kar nikalte hain

harim-e-naz se wo is tarah bahar nikalte hain
ba-har parda ba-har jalwa ba-har manzar nikalte hain

sikhae the jinhon ne ishq ko aadab-e-jaan-bazi
wahi kafir ishaare zindagi-parwar nikalte hain

rasai gosha-e-daman tak un ke kis tarah hogi
tasawwur ki hadon mein bhi jo sharma kar nikalte hain

mujhe yaran-e-sahil daman-e-girdab mein dhundhen
ghariq-e-warta-e-gham kab kinare par nikalte hain

jo aagah-e-rumuz-e-zindagi hain bazm-e-hasti mein
wo aksar aish mein bhi dard ke khugar nikalte hain

charagh-e-rahbari hota hai har ek naqsh-e-pa jin ka
wo salik be-niyaz-e-jada-o-rahbar nikalte hain

wahi har ek jalwa mein tajalli-rez rahte hain
wahi har ek manzar mein pas-e-manzar nikalte hain

kisi ka naqsh-e-pa jab dawat-e-taslim deta hai
tadap kar sajda-ha-e-arzu bahar nikalte hain

'anis' ehsas-e-dard-o-fart-e-mayusi ko kya kahiye
ki ab aansu bhi meri aankh se kamtar nikalte hain
