nahin nam-o-nishan sae ka lekin yar baiThe hain
nahīñ nām-o-nishāñ saa.e kā lekin yaar baiThe haiñ
uge shāyad zamīñ se ḳhud-ba-ḳhud dīvār baiThe haiñ
savār-e-kashti-e-amvāj-e-dil haiñ aur ġhāfil haiñ
samajhte haiñ ki ham dariyā-e-ġham ke paar baiThe haiñ
ujaaḌ aisī na thī duniyā abhī kal tak ye aalam thā
yahāñ do-chār baiThe haiñ vahāñ do-chār baiThe haiñ
phir aatī hai isī sahrā se āvāz-e-jaras mujh ko
jahāñ majnūñ se dīvāne bhī himmat haar baiThe haiñ
samajhte ho jinheñ tum sañg-e-mīl ai qāfile vaalo
sar-e-rah ḳhastgān-e-hasrat-raftār baiThe haiñ
ye jitne mas.ale haiñ mashġhale haiñ sab farāġhat ke
na tum be-kār baiThe ho na ham be-kār baiThe haiñ
tumheñ 'anjum' koī us se tavaqqo ho to ho varna
yahāñ to aadmī kī shakl se be-zār baiThe haiñ
nahin nam-o-nishan sae ka lekin yar baiThe hain
uge shayad zamin se KHud-ba-KHud diwar baiThe hain
sawar-e-kashti-e-amwaj-e-dil hain aur ghafil hain
samajhte hain ki hum dariya-e-gham ke par baiThe hain
ujaD aisi na thi duniya abhi kal tak ye aalam tha
yahan do-chaar baiThe hain wahan do-chaar baiThe hain
phir aati hai isi sahra se aawaz-e-jaras mujh ko
jahan majnun se diwane bhi himmat haar baiThe hain
samajhte ho jinhen tum sang-e-mil ai qafile walo
sar-e-rah KHastgan-e-hasrat-raftar baiThe hain
ye jitne masale hain mashghale hain sab faraghat ke
na tum be-kar baiThe ho na hum be-kar baiThe hain
tumhein 'anjum' koi us se tawaqqo ho to ho warna
yahan to aadmi ki shakl se be-zar baiThe hain
