sitam ahl-e-karam farma rahe hain
wafaon ko pasine aa rahe hain

uthae hain jo patthar mariyega
tawaqquf aap kyun farma rahe hain

ghazal ko khun-e-dil se aab de kar
maani hum nae pahna rahe hain

mujhe meri jawani ke taqaze
tamannaon se kyun uljha rahe hain

sar-e-mahfil ghazal jo na-rawa thi
use tanhai mein khud ga rahe hain

na 'anjum' dastan-e-dil sunao
wo dekho log uth kar ja rahe hain
