raat phir khwab mein aane ka irada kar ke
chand duba hai abhi mahw-e-nazara kar ke

tishnagi had se guzar jaegi sahil ke qarib
faeda kya hai samundar ka taqaza kar ke

hairati hun abhi tuta hai bharam ulfat ka
de gaya mat wo phir mujh ko bahana kar ke

karta rahta tha mazahan wo bahut si baaten
ab raqam karte rahe us ko fasana kar ke

mat chhal shah to faqat khel hai ek is ke liye
rakh diya meri mohabbat ko tamasha kar ke

chhod jaane ko wo kahta tha pa malum na tha
yun chala jaega dam-bhar mein paraya kar ke

aakhir 'asra' teri fitrat mein ye ujlat kyun hai
dekh le ranj abhi aur gawara kar ke
