dad-o-tahsin-o-sataish na pazirai ko
koi aaya na meri hausla-afzai ko
dekh to lun main zara paikar-e-ranai ko
chhin lena tu bhale ba'd mein binai ko
jo bhi raushan the bujha kar sab umidon ke charagh
so gae aaj bhi hum oDh ke tanhai ko
roz hi zulm sitam aur baDha deta hai
napta hai wo mere zabt ki gahrai ko
mere sine ke sabhi zaKHm udhaD jate hain
yaad karta hun kabhi jo teri angDai ko
dost bhi ab saf-e-dushman mein nazar aate hain
jab se honThon pe saja rakkha hai sachchai ko
lafzon ke phulon mein mafhum ki KHushbu hi nahin
kaise kah dun main ghazal qafiya-paimai ko
us ne hi mera banaya hai tamasha ai 'anis'
man baiTha tha fidai main tamashai ko
