main sach to kah dun par us ko kahin bura na lage
mere khayal ki yarab use hawa na lage

ajib tarz se ab ke nibhaya ulfat ko
wafa jo ki hai to is tarah ki wafa na lage

darun-e-zat basa hai jahan yaadon ka
wo dur rah ke bhi mujh ko kabhi juda na lage

kabhi to kahta tha har lamha tere sath hun main
ab aise bachhda ke us ka kahin pata na lage

tabib tum ko bhulane ka kar raha hai ilaj
maraz hua hai purana koi dawa na lage

tumhaare waste jab jab badhaya dast-e-talab
ajib baat hai is dam dua dua na lage

uthe nazar se na us ki fusun-e-parda-e-husn
khata bhi tujh se agar ho use khata na lage

ye tera tarz-e-bayan mashriqon sa hai 'asra'
wo din na aae ke tujh ko khuda khuda na lage
