umr guzri hai iltija karte
qissa-e-gham lab-ashna karte

jine wale tere baghair ai dost
mar na jate to aur kya karte

hae wo qahr-e-sadgi-amez
kash hum phir unhen khafa karte

rang hota kuchh aur duniya ka
shaikh mera agar kaha karte

aap karte jo ehtiram-e-butan
but-kade khud khuda khuda karte

rind hote jo ba-shuur 'anwar'
kya bataun tumhein wo kya karte
