qayamat se nahin kam us pe aa jaana mere dil ka
bahut mushkil hai ab aasan hona meri mushkil ka

nigah-e-yas ne kya kah diya qatil se maqtal mein
tadapta hai jo khanjar kanpta hai hath qatil ka

sukun-e-dil jo hasil ho to koi kaamyabi ho
mohabbat tujh pe tohmat hai tadap jaana hi bismil ka

musallat hai khamoshi mauj-e-dariya par khuda rakkhe
mizaj achchha nazar aata nahin hai aaj sahil ka

utha kar subh-e-nau ne rukh se parda jab nazar dali
na jaane zard chehra pad gaya kyon mah-e-kaamil ka

surahi khud jhukegi khud chalenge jam sar ke bal
badal dunga main ab qanun saqi teri mahfil ka

wo kya batlaega 'anwar' tujhe rah-e-talab teri
pata jis ko nahin hai aaj tak khud apni manzil ka
