bab-e-dil jab bhi wa hua apna
us mein nuqsan hi hua apna

koi dil wala aa mile mujh se
dar hai rakkha khula hua apna

naqsh-e-pa sabt hain luteron ke
ghar se ghaeb hai rahnuma apna

lut gaya sab hisab kya hoga
ghair ka kya tha aur kya apna

manzilon ka nishan kahlae
khun ugla hai naqsh-e-pa apna

dil ko taka tha ai 'asar' main ne
kya nishana hua khata apna
