raat ka kya zikr hai sham-o-sahar aaya nahin
raat kā kyā zikr hai shām-o-sahar aayā nahīñ
kaun sā ilzām hai jo mere sar aayā nahīñ
yuuñ to rāh-e-be-ḳhatar meñ rahnumā milte rahe
pur-ḳhatar rāhoñ meñ koī rāhbar aayā nahīñ
kaun jaane kis ke Dar se aaj phir merā rafīq
chāhtā thā mere ghar aanā magar aayā nahīñ
is qadar qurbat baḌhī har naqsh dhundlā ho gayā
vo thā mere sāmne lekin nazar aayā nahīñ
dil ko kyā kahiye ki vo qātil ke ghar ḳhud hī gayā
laakh koshish kī magar vo raah par aayā nahīñ
laakh andeshoñ ne 'anvar' gher rakkhā hai mujhe
raat sar par aa ga.ī aur nāma-bar aayā nahīñ
raat ka kya zikr hai sham-o-sahar aaya nahin
kaun sa ilzam hai jo mere sar aaya nahin
yun to rah-e-be-KHatar mein rahnuma milte rahe
pur-KHatar rahon mein koi rahbar aaya nahin
kaun jaane kis ke Dar se aaj phir mera rafiq
chahta tha mere ghar aana magar aaya nahin
is qadar qurbat baDhi har naqsh dhundla ho gaya
wo tha mere samne lekin nazar aaya nahin
dil ko kya kahiye ki wo qatil ke ghar KHud hi gaya
lakh koshish ki magar wo rah par aaya nahin
lakh andeshon ne 'anwar' gher rakkha hai mujhe
raat sar par aa gai aur nama-bar aaya nahin
