hai aarmidagi mein nikohish baja mujhe
subh-e-watan hai khanda-e-dandan-numa mujhe

dhunde hai us mughanni-e-atish-nafas ko ji
jis ki sada ho jalwa-e-barq-e-fana mujhe

mastana tai karun hun rah-e-wadi-e-khayal
ta baz-gasht se na rahe muddaa mujhe

karta hai bas-ki bagh mein tu be-hijabiyan
aane lagi hai nikhat-e-gul se haya mujhe

khulta kisi pe kyun mere dil ka moamla
sheron ke intikhab ne ruswa kiya mujhe

wan rang-ha ba-parda-e-tadbir hain hunuz
yan shola-e-charagh hai barg-e-hina mujhe

parwaz-ha niyaz-e-tamasha-e-husn-e-dost
baal-e-kushada hai nigah-e-ashna mujhe

az-khud-guzashtagi mein khamoshi pe harf hai
mauj-e-ghubar-e-surma hui hai sada mujhe

ta chand past fitrati-e-tab-e-arzu
ya rab mile bulandi-e-dast-e-dua mujhe

main ne junun se ki jo 'asad' iltimas-e-rang
khun-e-jigar mein ek hi ghota diya mujhe

hai pech-tab rishta-e-sham-e-sahar-gahi
khajlat gudazi-e-nafas-e-na-rasa mujhe

yan aab-o-dana mausam-e-gul mein haram hai
zunnar-e-wa-gusista hai mauj-e-saba mujhe

yakbar imtihan-e-hawas bhi zarur hai
ai josh-e-ishq baada-e-mard-azma mujhe
