shikwa ban kar fughan se uthta hai
shoala-e-gham zaban se uthta hai

phir jala aashiyan koi shayad
phir dhuan gulsitan se uthta hai

tut jata hai silsila lai ka
jab koi darmiyan se uthta hai

thahre pani mein kuchh nahin hota
shor aab-e-rawan se uthta hai

sar mein sauda-e-bandagi hai 'asar'
kaun is aastan se uthta hai
