milne ka imkan banae baithe ho
kis ko dil aur jaan banae baithe ho

barsin aakhir barish jaise kyon aankhen
tum baadal mehman banae baithe ho

dasht ki khak sameti main ne palkon se
ghar apna dalan banae baithe ho

kis ke aane ki ummid mein aakhir yun
raste ko gul-dan banae baithe ho

kaun kisi ki yaad bhulai jaane ko
tum aangan shamshan banae baithe ho

qasmen wade jhute jis ki khatir tum
dil apna viran banae baithe ho

tanha tanha rahte ho 'asim' 'tanha'
ye kaisi pahchan banae baithe ho
