de ke wo sare ikhtiyar mujhe
aur karta hai sharmsar mujhe

zakhm tartib de raha hun main
aur kuchh waqt de udhaar mujhe

parsai ka zoam hai un ko
kah rahe hain gunahgar mujhe

fasle ye simat nahin sakte
ab parayon mein kar shumar mujhe

dil ke gulshan mein tum chale aao
aur kar do sada-bahaar mujhe

tark-e-ulfat ke baad bhi 'ashfaq'
tera rahta hai intizar mujhe
