larazta hai mera dil zahmat-e-mehr-e-darakhshan par
main hun wo qatra-e-shabnam ki ho khar-e-bayaban par

na chhodi hazrat-e-yusuf ne yan bhi khana-arai
safedi dida-e-yaqub ki phirti hai zindan par

fana talim-e-dars-e-be-khudi hun us zamane se
ki majnun lam alif likhta tha diwar-e-dabistan par

faraghat kis qadar rahti mujhe tashwish-e-marham se
baham gar sulh karte para-ha-e-dil namak-dan par

nahin iqlim-e-ulfat mein koi tumar-e-naz aisa
ki pusht-e-chashm se jis ki na howe mohr unwan par

mujhe ab dekh kar abr-e-shafaq-aluda yaad aaya
ki furqat mein teri aatish barasti thi gulistan par

ba-juz parwaz-e-shauq-e-naz kya baqi raha hoga
qayamat ek hawa-e-tund hai khak-e-shahidan par

na lad naseh se 'ghaalib' kya hua gar us ne shiddat ki
hamara bhi to aakhir zor chalta hai gareban par

dil-e-khunin-jigar be-sabr-o-faiz-e-ishq-e-mustaghni
ilahi yak qayamat khawar aa tute badakhshan par

'asad' ai be-tahammul arbada be-ja hai naseh se
ki aakhir be-kason ka zor chalta hai gareban par
