ai mujhe 'mir' ke ashaar sunane wale
jag utthe hain kai dard purane wale

mujh ko tanhai mein yun chhod ke jata kyun hai
teri jaanib hain kai qarz chukane wale

ye bata hijr ke mausam ka mudawa kya hai
mujh ko andaz mohabbat ke sikhane wale

ishq walon se hasab aur nasab puchhte ho
log hain ye to miyan unche gharane wale

warna sahra ki na yun khak udai hoti
tu ne dekhe hi nahin sanp khazane wale

dil ki manzil ka hai aaghaz wahan se 'asif'
laut aate hain jahan se ye zamane wale
