kab lazzaton ne zehn ka pichha nahin kiya
kab lazzatoñ ne zehn kā pīchhā nahīñ kiyā
ye merā hausla thā ki lab vā nahīñ kiyā
tajdīd-e-irtibāt bhī mumkin thī baa'd meñ
maiñ ne hī is ravish ko gavārā nahīñ kiyā
pahle to ik junūn sā arz-e-talab kā thā
jab vo milā to dil ne taqāzā nahīñ kiyā
sūraj rahā jo din meñ mire ghar se duur duur
phir maiñ ne raat meñ bhī ujālā nahīñ kiyā
kyā vahm thā ki khilte hī lab band ho ga.e
kyā baat thī ki lafz bhī puurā nahīñ kiyā
jab merā ishtiyāq huā zabt-āzmā
phir us ne apne aap hī pardā nahīñ kiyā
maiñ sāda-lauh sāda-bayāñ sāda-ārzū
aur us ne sādgī pe bharosā nahīñ kiyā
maiñ ne bhī chalte chalte kiyā thā yūñhī savāl
kyā ho gayā jo aap ne puurā nahīñ kiyā
vo kam-nigāh thā magar us se churā ke aañkh
maiñ ne bhī apne saath kuchh achchhā nahīñ kiyā
amrit samajh ke pī liyā 'anjum' ne zahr-e-ġham
lekin tumhāre naam ko rusvā nahīñ kiyā
kab lazzaton ne zehn ka pichha nahin kiya
ye mera hausla tha ki lab wa nahin kiya
tajdid-e-irtibaat bhi mumkin thi ba'd mein
main ne hi is rawish ko gawara nahin kiya
pahle to ek junun sa arz-e-talab ka tha
jab wo mila to dil ne taqaza nahin kiya
suraj raha jo din mein mere ghar se dur dur
phir main ne raat mein bhi ujala nahin kiya
kya wahm tha ki khilte hi lab band ho gae
kya baat thi ki lafz bhi pura nahin kiya
jab mera ishtiyaq hua zabt-azma
phir us ne apne aap hi parda nahin kiya
main sada-lauh sada-bayan sada-arzu
aur us ne sadgi pe bharosa nahin kiya
main ne bhi chalte chalte kiya tha yunhi sawal
kya ho gaya jo aap ne pura nahin kiya
wo kam-nigah tha magar us se chura ke aankh
main ne bhi apne sath kuchh achchha nahin kiya
amrit samajh ke pi liya 'anjum' ne zahr-e-gham
lekin tumhaare nam ko ruswa nahin kiya
