jo baat hai teri so nirali
ushshaq-kushi nai nikali

tir-e-mizhgan bhi hai us par
abru ki tegh bhi sambhaali

samjhe hai zahiran wo dil ki
deta hai jo dar-jawab gali

nakhun-zan hain badal ye angusht
ye sirf nahin hina ki lali

hain roz-e-azal se hum giraftar
dekhi na kabhu faragh-baali

tu to hai hi pa main bhi pyare
hun be-parwai la-ubaali

kis tarah dikhaun aah tujh ko
main apni ye kharab-haali

hum hain bande dani o asfal
aur aap ka hai mizaj aali

aaina-e-dil mein mahw ho kar
surat hi kuchh aur ab nikali

hai tujh se hi aashiqon ki khubi
ya hazrat-e-'dard' mere wali

diwan-e-'asar' tamam dekha
hai us mein har ek sher aali
