haq nahin mujh ko shadmani ka
shukriya gham ki mehrbani ka

aap ke aur hamare aansu mein
farq hai aag aur pani ka

hai mohabbat ka nam umr-e-abad
zikr hi kya hayat-e-fani ka

khud mere dil ne meri aankhon ko
farz saunpa hai khun-fishani ka

ahl-e-dil ki kahaniyan tauba
ek unwan hai har kahani ka

kyon na sargoshiyan hon mahfil mein
faiz hai meri be-zabani ka

tere gham se siwa ye gham hai hamein
jaane kya ho teri nishani ka

sher rudad-e-dil hai nam nahin
sirf alfaz ki rawani ka

karwan ke ghubar mein 'ashraf'
chhup gaya rang zindagani ka
