raqs-e-junun ki garmi-e-tasir dekhna

raqs-e-junūñ kī garmī-e-tāsīr dekhnā

khultā hai kaise halqa-e-zanjīr dekhnā

ghis ghis ke pattharoñ ko banāyā hai aa.ina

dekheñ vo ḳhvāb ham ko hai ta.abīr dekhnā

harbe sab un ke un ko hī lauTā diye ga.e

hairat se ban ga.e haiñ vo tasvīr dekhnā

likh dī zabān-e-zaḳhm meñ rūdād-e-zindagī

jismoñ pe us kī shoḳhi-e-tahrīr dekhnā

ab to vajūd-e-maqtal-o-zindāñ pe aa banī

ab beḌiyāñ na tauq na zanjīr dekhnā

dekhe haiñ baiThe baiThe muqaddar ke tum ne khel

uTh kar zarā karishma-e-tadbīr dekhnā

qasr-e-hayāt-e-nau kī hai bārūd par binā

'anjum' ye pā.edārī-e-ta.amīr dekhnā

raqs-e-junun ki garmi-e-tasir dekhna

khulta hai kaise halqa-e-zanjir dekhna

ghis ghis ke pattharon ko banaya hai aaina

dekhen wo KHwab hum ko hai tabir dekhna

harbe sab un ke un ko hi lauTa diye gae

hairat se ban gae hain wo taswir dekhna

likh di zaban-e-zaKHm mein rudad-e-zindagi

jismon pe us ki shoKHi-e-tahrir dekhna

ab to wajud-e-maqtal-o-zindan pe aa bani

ab beDiyan na tauq na zanjir dekhna

dekhe hain baiThe baiThe muqaddar ke tum ne khel

uTh kar zara karishma-e-tadbir dekhna

qasr-e-hayat-e-nau ki hai barud par bina

'anjum' ye paedari-e-tamir dekhna
