dekh lail-o-nahaar se bahar
zindagi hai qatar se bahar

aise koi khumar mein bhi nahin
jaise hum hain khumar se bahar

kahf walon se thak chuka tha main
aan baitha hun ghaar se bahar

hum guzishta zamanon ke aashiq
ho rahe hain shumar se bahar

khul ke hansiyo nashe ki haalat mein
gham hi gham hain khumar se bahar

dad banti hai phul ki 'asif'
jo khula hai bahaar se bahar
