dekh kar dil ko pech-o-tab ke bich
aa pada muft main azab ke bich

kaun rahta hai tere gham ke siwa
is dil-e-khanuman-kharab ke bich

tere aatish-zadon ne misl-sharar
umr kati hai iztirab ke bich

kya kahun tujh se ab ke main tujh ko
kis tarah dekhta hun khwab ke bich

shama fanus mein na jab ke chhupe
kab chhupe hai ye munh naqab ke bich

tuk tabassum ne ki shakar-rezi
bare ab talkhi-e-itab ke bich

kya kahe wo ki sab huwaida hai
shan teri teri kitab ke bich

hai ghulami 'asar' ko hazrat-e-'dard'
ba-dil-o-jaan teri janab ke bich
