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
vo kam-nigāh thā magar us se churā ke aañkh
maiñ ne bhī apne saath kuchh achchhā nahīñ kiyā
tajdīd-e-irtibāt bhī mumkin thī ba.ad meñ
maiñ ne hī us ravish ko gavārā nahīñ kiyā
pahle to ik junūn sā arz-e-talab kā thā
jab vo milā to dil ne taqāza 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 khulte hī lab band ho ga.e
kyā baat thī ki lafz bhī puurā nahīñ kiyā
maiñ ne bhī chalte chalte yūñhī kar diyā savāl
kyā ho gayā jo aap ne puurā nahīñ kiyā
maiñ sāda-lauh sāda-bayāñ sāda-ārzū
aur us ne sādgī pe bharosa nahīñ kiyā
jab merā ishtiyāq huā zabt-āzmā
phir us ne apne-āp hī parda 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
wo kam-nigah tha magar us se chura ke aankh
main ne bhi apne sath kuchh achchha nahin kiya
tajdid-e-irtibaat bhi mumkin thi baad mein
main ne hi us 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 khulte hi lab band ho gae
kya baat thi ki lafz bhi pura nahin kiya
main ne bhi chalte chalte yunhi kar diya sawal
kya ho gaya jo aap ne pura nahin kiya
main sada-lauh sada-bayan sada-arzu
aur us ne sadgi pe bharosa nahin kiya
jab mera ishtiyaq hua zabt-azma
phir us ne apne-ap hi parda nahin kiya
amrit samajh ke pi liya 'anjum' ne zahr-e-gham
lekin tumhaare nam ko ruswa nahin kiya
