raqs-e-junun ki garmi-e-tasir dekhna
khulta hai kaise halqa-e-zanjir dekhna

ghis ghis ke pattharon ko banaya hai aaina
dekhen wo khwab hum ko hai tabir dekhna

harbe sab un ke un ko hi lauta diye gae
hairat se ban gae hain wo taswir dekhna

likh di zaban-e-zakhm mein rudad-e-zindagi
jismon pe us ki shokhi-e-tahrir dekhna

ab to wajud-e-maqtal-o-zindan pe aa bani
ab bediyan na tauq na zanjir dekhna

dekhe hain baithe baithe muqaddar ke tum ne khel
uth kar zara karishma-e-tadbir dekhna

qasr-e-hayat-e-nau ki hai barud par bina
'anjum' ye paedari-e-tamir dekhna
