'asar' ab tak fareb khata hai
teri baaton ko man jata hai

dil kada kar ke tujh se kuchh to kahun
ji mein sau bar ye hi aata hai

khush guzarti nahin hai koi aan
ishtiyaq ab nipat satata hai

dil ko wade se kal nahin hoti
roz tu aaj-kal batata hai

but-e-kafir ki be-murawwatiyan
ye hamein sab khuda dikhata hai

dil mera tu ne hi churaya hai
nahin yun nazren kyun churaata hai

main bhi naseh use samajhta hun
go bura hai pa mujh ko bhata hai

tere dar par main kab kab aata hun
dil mujhe bar bar lata hai

nala-o-ah ko mere sun kar
kahte ho yan kise sunata hai

roz-o-shab kis tarah basar main karun
gham tera ab to ji hi khata hai

dil-e-na-qadr-dan ye gauhar-e-ashk
nit yunhi khak mein milata hai

ji hi jata hai dam-ba-dam mera
tujh ko bawar nahin ye aata hai

shama-ru dil ye misl-e-parwana
nahaq apne tain jalata hai

teri in shoala-khuyon ke huzur
be-tarah tujh pe ji jalata hai

kya karun aah main 'asar' ka ilaj
is ghadi us ka ji hi jata hai
