be-khudi mein jab teri mahfil mein diwane gae
ahl-e-dil ahl-e-hawas ke farq pahchane gae

kaise kaise haal mein dekha janab-e-shaikh ko
mahfil-e-rindan mein jab bhi waz farmane gae

mai-kash-e-awara is duniya se kya uth kar gaya
mai gai jam-o-subu saqi-o-mai-khane gae

ai hasinan-e-jahan ahl-e-hawas se hoshiyar
warna husn-o-ishq se marbut afsane gae

faisla-kun kis qadar thi hae zalim ki ada
dil-jigar qalb-o-nazar ke sare afsane gae

apne apne bas ki baaten ahl-e-mahfil jaan len
sham-e-mahfil ke qarin phir lije parwane gae

zindagi-bhar 'asr' go rindon ke ham-mashrab rahe
phir bhi diwanon mein farzane se gardane gae
