pade jo kaam to dil se kisi ka sath na de
wo aadmi nahin jo aadmi ka sath na de

charagh wo hai andheron ko jo kare raushan
wo kya charagh hai jo raushni ka sath na de

chaman mein ab to ye haalat hai ham-nashinon ki
ki jaise koi qafas mein kisi ka sath na de

andhera chha nahin sakta kabhi ujale par
tumhaari zulf agar tirgi ka sath na de

khuda kare o mere dil ko todne wale
tera shabab teri nazuki ka sath na de

gham-e-zamana se takra sake ye na-mumkin
agar sharab meri zindagi ka sath na de

agar kahin unhen be-parda dekh le 'anwar'
yaqin hai chand kabhi chandni ka sath na de
