taeron ki udan mein hum hain
is khule aasman mein hum hain

aakhir-e-kar hijr khatm hua
aur pas-mandgan mein hum hain

kyun na ho khauf-e-inhidam-e-dil
isi khasta makan mein hum hain

hum faqat teri guftugu mein nahin
har sukhan har zaban mein hum hain

aur koi nazar nahin aata
is zamin aasman mein hum hain

kya dua ki qubuliyat 'ashfaq'
sab ke wahm-o-guman mein hum hain
