khwab tabir mein dhalte hain yahan se aage
aa nikal jaen shab-e-wahm-o-guman se aage

rang pairahan-e-khaki ka badalne ke liye
mujh ko jaana hai abhi reg-e-rawan se aage

ek qadam aur sahi shahr-e-tanaffus se udhar
ek safar aur sahi kucha-e-jaan se aage

is safar se koi lauta nahin kis se puchhen
kaisi manzil hai jahan-e-guzaran se aage

main bahut tez hawaon ki guzargah mein hun
ek basti hai kahin mere makan se aage

meri aawargi yun hi to nahin hai 'asim'
koi khushbu hai meri umr-e-rawan se aage
