aur kis shai se dagh-e-dil dhoen
kya karen gar na is qadar roen

dil to patthar bana diya tu ne
aarzu kis zamin mein boen

hum kisi baat se nahin darte
hum ne paya hi kya hai jo khoen

aaj fursat mili hain muddat baad
aao! tangi-e-waqt par roen

hum yahi khwab dekhte hain 'asad'
un ke shane pe rakh ke sar soen
