sukun-o-sabr luta hosh ka khazana gaya
tumhin batao khudara ki mera kya na gaya

girai barq-e-nazar-soz barha lekin
mazaq-e-did hamara shikast kha na gaya

khuda ki zat pe insan ne kar diye hamle
fareb-e-aql se jab aap mein raha na gaya

hamare zauq-e-nazar ne to khub kaam kiya
chhupe hazar tarah wo magar chhupa na gaya

tamam umr jalaya charagh-e-dil main ne
shab-e-siyah ka lekin ye silsila na gaya

khulus-e-dil mein hi 'anjum' kami rahi hogi
ki wo qarib rahe phir bhi fasla na gaya
