yun hi kab tak meri taqdir mein bal aaenge
aaj ki baat pe kahte ho ki kal aaenge

panw jab jazb-e-mohabbat ke nikal aaenge
wadi-e-husn-o-jawani mein khalal aaenge

chal tu le kar hamein ai masti-e-zauq-e-sajda
munh pe khak-e-dar-e-mahbub hi mal aaenge

hausla shart hai haalat se mayus na ho
raste khud hi chatanon se nikal aaenge

karwaten leta hai jab dard-e-mohabbat dil mein
koi chupke se ye kahta hai sambhal aaenge

jab bahaar aaegi phulon pe shabab aaega
tazkire meri tabahi ke nikal aaenge

ab na aaega koi sani-e-'shadan' 'anwar'
go bahut ahl-e-sukhan ahal-e-ghazal aaenge
