jo na hon kuchh tashrih-talab kam hote hain

jo na hoñ kuchh tashrīh-talab kam hote haiñ

us ke ishāre saare mub.ham hote haiñ

har chehra har rañg meñ aane lagtā hai

pesh-e-nazar yādoñ ke albam hote haiñ

aise meñ aa jaatī hai apnī hī yaad

ā.īna hotā hai aur ham hote haiñ

bhūlne lagte haiñ jugnū bhī apnī raah

palkoñ par jab qatra-e-shabnam hote haiñ

mauj-e-balā jab sar se guzarne lagtī hai

mazlūmoñ ke haath hī parcham hote haiñ

muTThī se phisle hī jaate haiñ har phal

vasl ke lamhe tār-e-resham hote haiñ

kyā jaane jo dīvār-o-dar kā hai asiir

rāhoñ meñ kyā kyā pech-o-ḳham hote haiñ

koī purānā ḳhat kuchh bhūlī-bisrī yaad

zaḳhmoñ par vo lamhe marham hote haiñ

'anjum' jalne lagte haiñ har samt diye

dard ke hamle dil par paiham hote haiñ

jo na hon kuchh tashrih-talab kam hote hain

us ke ishaare sare mubham hote hain

har chehra har rang mein aane lagta hai

pesh-e-nazar yaadon ke albam hote hain

aise mein aa jati hai apni hi yaad

aaina hota hai aur hum hote hain

bhulne lagte hain jugnu bhi apni rah

palkon par jab qatra-e-shabnam hote hain

mauj-e-bala jab sar se guzarne lagti hai

mazlumon ke hath hi parcham hote hain

muTThi se phisle hi jate hain har phal

wasl ke lamhe tar-e-resham hote hain

kya jaane jo diwar-o-dar ka hai asir

rahon mein kya kya pech-o-KHam hote hain

koi purana KHat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad

zaKHmon par wo lamhe marham hote hain

'anjum' jalne lagte hain har samt diye

dard ke hamle dil par paiham hote hain
