Kuchh Uzr Pas-e-wada-KHilafi Nahin Rakhte

kuchh uzr pas-e-wada-KHilafi nahin rakhte

ho kaise masiha dam-e-shafi nahin rakhte

aise to na the zaKHm ki jo bhar hi na pate

ahbab magar zarf-e-talafi nahin rakhte

is chain se jine mein koi bhed nahin hai

bas ye ki tamannaen izafi nahin rakhte

is daur mein insaf panap hi nahin sakta

iKHlas-e-qalam jis mein sahafi nahin rakhte

hain aur bhi duniya mein suKHnawar bahut achchhe

hum jaisa magar zauq-e-qawafi nahin rakhte

ye moajiza mohtaj hai pindar-e-wafa ka

sab teshe dam-e-koh-shigafi nahin rakhte

har baat mein kam-maya nazar aate hain 'anjum'

rahat to kuja dard bhi kafi nahin rakhte
