bahe sath ashk ke lakht-e-jigar tak
na ki us ne meri jaanib nazar tak

abas sayyaad ko hai bad-gumani
nahin bazu mein apne ek par tak

khabar aai mariz-e-dard-o-gham ki
kahin pahunche khabar us be-khabar tak

nazakat se lagi bal karne kya kya
abhi gesu na pahunche the kamar tak

jiye jate hain shakl-e-sham-e-sozan
na kuchh baqi rahenge hum sahar tak

agar main yaad hota to na aate
magar bhule se aae mere ghar tak

dam-e-girya thi ghaalib na-tawani
pahunchte lakht-e-dil kya chashm-e-tar tak

khuda jaane 'asar' ko kya hua hai
raha karta hai chup do do pahar tak
