Tair-E-Ummid ko uddne ki Duaa kyu nahi dete,
Apni Kashti ko samandar ki hawaa kyu nahi dete....
[Taire ummid- ummid ka panchhi]

Lagi hai aag mere pehlu me ruswaayi ki,
Daaman-E-Yaar jalaaegi bujaa kyu nahi dete....

Maange qurbaani teri Ahd-E-Wafa-E-Jaanaa,
Baa-wafaa tu hai to fir khudko mitaa kyu nahi dete.....

Baat ulfat ki chhupaani thi bataadi Sar-E-Baazaar,
Mujrim huye hum tere sazaa kyu nahi dete....

Maah'O'Mehr'O'Anjum'O'Loa-E-Chiraag ko,
Moujud agar tu hai buja kyu nahi dete....
[Maah-chaand, Anjum-Sitara]

Dil-E-Jurrat bhi kare mujhse kabhi Sargoshi,
Pyaar jab unse tu karta hai bataa kyu nahi dete....
[Sargoshi- Kaan me baat kehna]

Mile Sukun tujhe lazzat-E-Giryaa se 'Anees',
Apni yaado ko Misl-E-Ashq bahaa kyu nahi dete....
[Misl-E-Ashq- Aansu ki Tarah]

-Anees Hyder
