qabil-e-rashk zat phulon ki
khub hai kaenat phulon ki

khushbuon ka safar tawil magar
mukhtasar hai hayat phulon ki

kar chuke hain wuzu wo shabnam se
ho rahi hai salat phulon ki

so gae hain lipat ke kanton se
kya qayamat hai raat phulon ki

hai asir-e-qafas ke honton par
zikr kaliyon ka baat phulon ki

un ke hansne se khil gae ghunche
un ke dam se hayat phulon ki

chand lamhon mein khil ke murjhaen
zindagi be-sabaat phulon ki

sari mahfil mahak gai 'anjum'
sher hain ya baraat phulon ki

hai ghazal mein chamak bhi 'anjum' ki
aur mahak sath sath phulon ki
