jo shamshir teri alam dekhte hain
to wohin sar apna qalam dekhte hain

tujhe ghair se jab baham dekhte hain
na dekhe koi jo ki hum dekhte hain

jo chahen ki likkhen kuchh ahwal dil ka
to hathon ko apne qalam dekhte hain

to jaldi se aawar na mere masiha
koi dam ko rah-e-adam dekhte hain

gali mein buton ki shab-o-roz 'asif'
tamasha khudai ka hum dekhte hain
