rudad-e-gham mein dhundiye lutf-e-bayan nahin
ye to hadis-e-dil hai koi dastan nahin

shikwa nahin gila nahin aah-o-fughan nahin
apna jo haal hai wo kisi par ayan nahin

apna yaqin kabhi bhi asir-e-guman nahin
ai shaikh un ke mere koi darmiyan nahin

ai dil jafa-e-ahl-e-jahan se na ho malul
in ki raza jo ho to musibat garan nahin

kya dhundhta hai is mein gham-o-ranj ke siwa
ye meri dastan hai teri dastan nahin

ishq-e-sitam samajh ke zara ai nigah-e-dost
ye tera imtihan hai mera imtihan nahin

hairan hun wahan main kahun kya zaban se
'asi' nigah dil ki jahan tarjuman nahin
