ek tanha khatir-e-mahzun jise afkar sau
ek mujh bimar se wabasta hain aazar sau

hai tajjub nok-e-mizhgan se jo khun-aluda hun
khun-girafta ek dil aur khanjar-e-khun-khwar sau

mu-ba-mu kyun-kar na ho mujh ko giraftari-e-zulf
kafir-e-ishq-e-butan main ek aur zunnar sau

du-ba-du kab ho saken us ke 'asar' hai aankh nar
kya hua, hain dekhne kahne ko gar aghyar sau
