bas ek bar uthen samna hi kar dalen
wabaal-e-jaan hai dar khatma hi kar dalen

qubuliyat ko suna hai ki zid dua se hai
to kyun na aisa karen bad-dua hi kar dalen

khisakte lamhon se ye zindagi ne puchh liya
haqir hum hain ki tum faisla hi kar dalen

nishat-o-kaif ke saman an-qarib kahan
ab ikhtisar-e-saf-e-maddua hi kar dalen

irada kar jo liya tark-e-khud-kalami ka
to yaad-e-mazi ka gham maktiba hi kar dalen

'asar' zaban ko dushwariyan bhi hain lahiq
so ehtimam koi dusra hi kar dalen
