apne siwa nahin hai kisi ma-siwa ka rang
dekha hai hum ne aag jala kar hawa ka rang

har gosha-e-bisat-e-chaman hai lahu lahu
dhumen macha raha hai kisi ki ana ka rang

aai jab apne shahr ki taswir samne
aankhon ke aage phail gaya karbala ka rang

jamti nahin nigah kisi tez chashm ki
pahna hai qatilon ne bhi kaisa bala ka rang

yak-rangi-e-hayat se ghabra na jaen kyon
jo aaj ghair ka hai wahi aashna ka rang

parwaz ki hai fikr ki gham baal-o-par ka hai
'asim' uda uda sa hai khalq-e-khuda ka rang
