hum ghalat ehtimal rakhte the
tujh se kya kya khayal rakhte the

na suna tu ne kya kahen zalim
warna hum arz-e-haal rakhte the

na raha intizar bhi ai yas
hum umid-e-visal rakhte the

jauhar-e-aina nin dikhlaya
sada-ru jo kamal rakhte the

na suna tha kisu ne ye to ghurur
sabhi dilbar jamal rakhte the

aah wo din gae ki hum bhi 'asar'
dil ko apne sambhaal rakhte the
