dhadkanon ki sab kahani khatm-shud
meri aankhon ka bhi pani khatm-shud

mai nai lao dukan-e-hijr se
jo padi thi kuchh purani khatm-shud

ye rahi wo jhil jis ki khoj thi
panchhiyo naql-e-makani khatm-shud

barf ne sar par basera kar liya
ab jawani ki kahani khatm-shud

shahr-e-dil ki raunaqen sab kho gain
har tarah ki shadmani khatm-shud

ungliyon ke bolne se ye hua
sab payam-e-munh-zabani khatm-shud

chal ke 'asif' puchhte hain waqt se
kab ye hogi raegani khatm-shud
