jafaa o jaur-e-musalsal vafaa o zabt-e-alam — Anwar Sabri

zulmaton mein raushni ki justuju karte raho
zindagi bhar zindagi ki justuju karte raho

uf vo maasum o hayaa-rez nigaahein jin par
qatl ke baad bhi ilzaam nahin aataa hai

main jo royaa un ki aankhon mein bhi aansu aa gae
husn ki fitrat mein shaamil hai mohabbat kaa mizaaj

tamaam umr qafas mein guzaar di ham ne
khabar nahin ki nasheman ki zindagi kyaa hai

vaqt jab karvaTein badaltaa hai
fitna-e-hashr saath chaltaa hai

meri nigaah-e-fikr mein 'anvar'
ishq fasaana husn hai uryaan

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin
