phulon se hogi dhul juda dekhte raho
manzar nikhaar degi hawa dekhte raho

laegi rang laghzish-e-pa dekhte raho
manzil bhi degi apna pata dekhte raho

han bazm mein kisi ke gareban-e-gosh tak
pahunchega mera dast-e-sada dekhte raho

nindon mein kho ke sipiyan khwabon ki dosto
chunne ko hai ye dida-e-wa dekhte raho

kab aaftab-e-taza ki pahli shua se
hoti hai chaak shab ki rida dekhte raho

us kaj-ada ki samt ba-in jaur-e-mustaqil
'asif' ba-tarz-e-ahl-e-wafa dekhte raho
