kabhi na mere qalam ki giraft mein aae
ye bhagte hue lamhe ye daudte sae

wo zor ab mere sukhe hue badan mein kahan
muhaal hai meri aawaz dur tak jae

zamin-e-sher mein jab quwwat-e-numu hi nahin
hazar sinchiye sabza bhi kya nazar aae

yahan to maslahatan jhut ko bhi sach kahiye
hum aisi maslahat-e-narawa se baz aae

hum aise ahl-e-nazar ke liye farishta hai
wo aadmi jo kisi aadmi ke kaam aae

ab aane wale nae sal par nazar rakkho
chaman mein phul khilae ki aag barsae

'asar' ghayur agar hai to kaise mumkin hai
kisi ke samne dast-e-sawal phailae
