ishq ki garmi-e-bazar kahan se laun
yusuf-e-dil ka kharidar kahan se laun

sunte hi naghmon ki ek lahr ragon mein daude
main teri shokhi-e-guftar kahan se laun

wahi shorida-sari hai wahi iza-talabi
ishq mein jada-e-hamwar kahan se laun

ho gain aankhon se wo mast nigahen ojhal
ishrat-khana-e-khummar kahan se laun

dil ki dhadkan mein suna karta tha paigham tera
ab wo hangama-e-bisyar kahan se laun

us par aaina ho kis tarah haqiqat dil ki
shauq-e-minnat-kash-e-izhaar kahan se laun

mabad-e-dil mein parastar-e-mohabbat hun 'asar'
rawish-e-kafir-o-din-dar kahan se laun
