kuchh mera bhi charcha hai taqdir ke maron mein
tuta hua tara hun pur-nur sitaron mein

rangin nazaron se wahshat hai mere dil ko
main kaise chala jaun gulshan ki bahaaron mein

rahta hun main sahra mein basti se juda ho kar
dhundo na mujhe yaro tum shokh nazaron mein

main kaise rahun zinda girdab ki banhon mein
milti hai aman kis ko tufan ke dhaaron mein

ye log lutere hain lutenge mere dil ko
milte hain kahan mukhlis in hirs ke maron mein

kandhon pe utha lena tabut-e-mohabbat ko
mujh ko bhi saja dena chahat ke mazaron mein

main 'ashna' waqif hun haalat-e-gulistan se
jazbaat ki garmi hai phulon mein na kharon mein
