meri taqdir ko kuchh aur nikhar jaane de
thahr ai katib-e-taqdir sanwar jaane de

dam to le gardish-e-ayyam sitam kyon itna
manzil-e-ishq ko bas par to kar jaane de

dekhne walon pe pabandi-e-didar hai kyon
rukh-e-mahtab-numa tak to nazar jaane de

ashk aankhon se nikalne ko machalte hain mere
chashm-e-mahzun ke ye moti hain bikhar jaane de

kali badli mein nazar aane de mahtab zara
zulf-e-pur-pech se shanon ko sanwar jaane de

zakhm gahre abhi khane ki hai taqat baqi
tir jitne hain pa-e-qalb-o-jigar jaane de

shab-e-tarik mein muddat se bhatakta hai 'asad'
yak qadam us ko zara su-e-sahar jaane de
