mera guman hai shayad ye waqia ho jae
ki sham mujh mein dhale aur sab fana ho jae

ho baat us se kuchh aise ki waqt sakit ho
kalam apna takallum se mawara ho jae

bacha ke aankh main khud apni khoj mein niklun
mere wajud mein ek chor rasta ho jae

kuchh is tarah wo nigah-e-khayal mein utre
ki us ke aage jhukun aur wo khuda ho jae

ata ho chashm-e-tamanna ko wo qarina-e-did
ki shauq dast-e-taqaza se ma-siwa hua jae

rahe ye tishna-labi dasht-e-shauq mein qaem
wo intihaen milen meri ibtida ho jae

nasib ho kabhi aisi bhi ek sahar 'asim'
ki sham-e-hijr ki furqat ka saneha ho jae
