khatm kar dete hain lije aaj afsane ko hum
shama ke pahlu mein dafnate hain parwane ko hum

ye nahin hai dekh kar aae hain dozakh ya bahisht
bandagi karte hain apne dil ke bahlane ko hum

pattharon mein jaan dalenge saron ko phod kar
azm ye kar ke chale hain aaj but-khane ko hum

shab hui to us shajar hi ko alaw kar liya
sae mein baithe the jis ke din mein sustane ko hum

bahs ke dauran khud hum muttafiq us se hue
zoam mein apne gae the us ke samjhane ko hum

dhul udti chhod kar chal dega aage karwan
aur rah jaenge 'asim' thokaren khane ko hum
