gham nahin mujh ko jo waqt-e-imtihan mara gaya
khush hun tere hath se ai jaan-e-jaan mara gaya

tegh-e-abru se dil-e-ashiq ko milti kya panah
jo chadha munh par ajal ke be-guman mara gaya

manzil-e-mashuq tak pahuncha salamat kab koi
rahzanon se karwan ka karwan mara gaya

dosti ki tum ne dushman se ajab tum dost ho
main tumhaari dosti mein mehrban mara gaya

zahr se kuchh kam na thi dawat meri ghairon ke sath
kya ghazab hai ghar bala kar mehman mara gaya

dasht-e-ghurbat ranj-e-tanhai hujum-e-dard-o-yas
in balaon mein tera aashiq kahan mara gaya

kya halak-e-ishq tere gesuon ka tha 'asar'
sumbulistan ho gaya hai do-jahan mara gaya
