apne dar se jo uthate hain hamein
khak mein aap milate hain hamein

hai jo manzur jafa dar-parda
munh wo ghairon mein dikhate hain hamein

ghair ko pas bitha rakhte hain
jab kabhi aap bulate hain hamein

garmiyan ghair ko dikhla dikhla
bazm mein aap jalate hain hamein

shab-e-furqat mein falak ke tare
dagh-e-dil yaad dilate hain hamein

un ke andaz-e-sukhan hain malum
ghair ko kah ke sunate hain hamein

phir kisi gul pe hua dil mail
dagh-e-taza nazar aate hain hamein

chhod den aap ki hamrahi hum
wah kya rah batate hain hamein

tu hamein rah batae jis se
ghair wo rah batate hain hamein

itr-e-gul se nahin jab dil bharta
apna rumal sunghate hain hamein

shab ko afsana-e-dil kah ke 'asar'
aap rote hain rulate hain hamein
