hasil se hath dho baith ai aarzu-khirami
dil josh-e-girya mein hai dubi hui asami

us shama ki tarah se jis ko koi bujha de
main bhi jale-huon mein hun dagh-e-na-tamami

karte ho shikwa kis ka tum aur bewafai
sar pitte hain apna hum aur nek-nami

sad-rang-e-gul katarna dar-parda qatl karna
tegh-e-ada nahin hai paband-e-be-niyami

tarf-e-sukhan nahin hai mujh se khuda-na-karda
hai nama-bar ko us se dawa-e-ham-kalami

taqat fasana-e-baad andesha shoala-ijad
ai gham hunuz aatish ai dil hunuz khami

har chand umr guzri aazurdagi mein lekin
hai sharh-e-shauq ko bhi jun shikwa na-tamami

hai yas mein 'asad' ko saqi se bhi faraghat
dariya se khushk guzre maston ki tishna-kaami
