in se aavaaz-e-karb aati hai — Syed Anwar Ahmad

is pal do pal ki hasti mein
kyaa teraa hai kyaa meraa hai

— Syed Anwar Ahmad

kuchh maarke hamaare bhi ham tak hi rah gae
gumnaam ik sipaahi ki khidmaat ki tarah

— Syed Anwar Ahmad

vo mujh se puchhne lagaa mere savaal ab
aur main bhi de rahaa huun jo is ke javaab the

— Syed Anwar Ahmad

faqih-e-shahr se kuchh khaas dushmani to nahin
faqih-e-shahr se lekin Thani si rahti hai

— Syed Anwar Ahmad

apne liye bhi koi riaayat ravaa nahin
is munsifi ki khu ne to saffaak kar diyaa

— Syed Anwar Ahmad

boli lagi mata-e-hunar ki to ahl-e-fan
jaldi mein apne khvaab bhi nilaam kar gae

— Syed Anwar Ahmad
