shiddat-e-dard ko kuchh aur badha sakta hai
qaid-e-tanhai ka gham aap ko kha sakta hai

muntazir rahta nahin hai wo kisi lamhe ka
gham ka baadal to kisi waqt bhi chha sakta hai

ya wo qatra hai mera dil jo rahe aankhon mein
ya wo dariya hai jo kuze mein sama sakta hai

gham bhulane ko use de dun dilasa lekin
ye dilasa use gham yaad dila sakta hai

dost mujh ko jo banata hai gharaz ki khatir
waqt par hath wo dushman se mila sakta hai

jashn khushiyon ka manata hi nahin hai jo kabhi
ain mumkin hai wo har dard chhupa sakta hai

gardan-e-amn pe dahshat ki chhuri hai 'anjum'
kaun aise mein phir aawaz utha sakta hai
