gar khamushi se faeda ikhfa-e-haal hai
khush hun ki meri baat samajhni muhaal hai

kis ko sunaun hasrat-e-izhaar ka gila
dil fard-e-jama-o-kharch zaban-ha-e-lal hai

kis parde mein hai aaina-pardaz ai khuda
rahmat ki uzr-khwah-e-lab-e-be-sawal hai

hai hai khuda-na-khwasta wo aur dushmani
ai shauq-e-munfail ye tujhe kya khayal hai

mushkin libas-e-kaba ali ke qadam se jaan
naf-e-zamin hai na ki naf-e-ghazal hai

wahshat pe meri arsa-e-afaq tang tha
dariya zamin ko araq-e-infial hai

hasti ke mat fareb mein aa jaiyo 'asad'
aalam tamam halqa-e-dam-e-khayal hai

pahlu-tahi na kar gham-o-andoh se 'asad'
dil waqf-e-dard kar ki faqiron ka mal hai
