pahlu mein main dabae hue dard-o-gham utha
mahfil se teri jab bhi utha chashm-e-nam utha

thokar se gard-e-rah adi rahnuma bani
manzil ki samt jab bhi hamara qadam utha

ab likh de husn-o-ishq ki rangin dastan
ai shair-e-jadid utha phir qalam utha

sajda qadam qadam pe jo karta hua chala
tazim ke liye meri khud bhi haram utha

rindon ne ehtiram se sar ko jhuka liya
mahfil mein zikr jab bhi kabhi jam-e-jam utha

us but ne jab bhi khol diye gesu-e-hasin
har samt jhum jhum ke abr-e-karam utha

jab be-naqab aa gae 'anwar' ko wo nazar
phir samne se parda-e-dair-o-haram utha
