be-niyazi se mudaraat se dar lagta hai
jaane kya baat hai har baat se dar lagta hai
saghar-e-baada-e-gul-rang to kuchh dur nahin
nigah-e-pir-e-kharabaat se dar lagta hai
dil pe khai hui ek chot ubhar aati hai
tere diwane ko barsat se dar lagta hai
ai dil afsana-e-aghaz-e-wafa rahne de
mujh ko bite hue lamhat se dar lagta hai
hath se zabt ka daman na kahin chhut jae
aap ki pursish-e-haalat se dar lagta hai
main jo us bazm mein jata nahin 'ashar' mujh ko
apne sahme hue jazbaat se dar lagta hai
