jhel kar dukh mujhe jine ka qarina aaya
na jabin par shikan ubhri na pasina aaya

kitne alfaz-o-tarakib tarashe main ne
guftugu ka na saliqa na qarina aaya

muddaton main ne kiya hai dil-e-sad-chaak rafu
tab kahin ja ke mujhe zakhm ka sina aaya

mujh ko hona pada mamnun-e-karam maujon ka
kitni mushkil se kinare pe safina aaya

main ne shikwa na kiya teri jafaon ka kabhi
saf dil tha ki mere dil mein na kina aaya

phir nae sal ki aamad pe qasida likhkhun
khatm hone ko december ka mahina aaya

main ne wo raaz-e-haqiqat kabhi ifsha na kiya
jo mere pas 'asar' sina-ba-sina aaya
