soch ki lahron ka majma thik hai
zindagi ka masala barik hai

ashk-rezi ki mujhe aadat nahin
gham barae gham meri tazhik hai

hum ko phulon ki sanad mil jaegi
khushbuon ka madrasa nazdik hai

mere zakhmon ki ana hai mukhtalif
teri hamdardi ka marham bhik hai

apni koshish to chamakti hai magar
kaamyabi ki gali tarik hai

muskurahat ke taaqub mein 'asar'
aansuon ki dil-shikan tahrik hai
