kitab-e-dil ka teri intisab baqi hai
haqiqaton se alag ek khwab baqi hai

wo ishq bhul gae jis ko tum usi ke liye
hamare dil mein abhi iztirab baqi hai

jahan kam tha ki dozakh bhi ek bana dali
ilahi kaun sa aisa azab baqi hai

agar sunaun hadis-e-junun to chand alfaz
likhun agar to ye puri kitab baqi hai

hamare sath to chal tasfiya hua tera
thahar ki tujh se hamara hisab baqi hai

ye bahas chhodiye mujrim hun ya nahin kije
jo rah gaya hai sitam jo itab baqi hai

hua tamam safar dasht ka magar 'asim'
labon pe ret nazar mein sarab baqi hai
