ab kahan aur kisi chiz ki ja rakkhi hai

ab kahāñ aur kisī chiiz kī jā rakkhī hai

dil meñ ik terī tamannā jo basā rakkhī hai

sar-ba-kaf maiñ bhī huuñ shamshīr-ba-kaf hai tū bhī

tū ne kis din pe ye taqrīb uThā rakkhī hai

dil sulagtā hai tire sard ravayye se mirā

dekh is barf ne kyā aag lagā rakkhī hai

aa.ina dekh zarā kyā maiñ ġhalat kahtā huuñ

tū ne ḳhud se bhī koī baat chhupā rakkhī hai

jaise tū hukm kare dil mirā vaise dhaḌke

ye ghaḌī tere ishāroñ se milā rakkhī hai

mutma.in mujh se nahīñ hai jo ra.ī.yat merī

ye mirā taaj rakhā hai ye qabā rakkhī hai

gauhar-e-ashk se ḳhālī nahīñ āñkheñ 'anvar'

yahī pūñjī to zamāne se bachā rakkhī hai

ab kahan aur kisi chiz ki ja rakkhi hai

dil mein ek teri tamanna jo basa rakkhi hai

sar-ba-kaf main bhi hun shamshir-ba-kaf hai tu bhi

tu ne kis din pe ye taqrib uTha rakkhi hai

dil sulagta hai tere sard rawayye se mera

dekh is barf ne kya aag laga rakkhi hai

aaina dekh zara kya main ghalat kahta hun

tu ne KHud se bhi koi baat chhupa rakkhi hai

jaise tu hukm kare dil mera waise dhaDke

ye ghaDi tere ishaaron se mila rakkhi hai

mutmain mujh se nahin hai jo raiyat meri

ye mera taj rakha hai ye qaba rakkhi hai

gauhar-e-ashk se KHali nahin aankhen 'anwar'

yahi punji to zamane se bacha rakkhi hai
