shab khumar-e-shauq-e-saqi rustakhez-andaza tha
ta-muhit-e-baada surat khana-e-khamyaza tha

yak qadam wahshat se dars-e-daftar-e-imkan khula
jada ajza-e-do-alam dasht ka shiraaza tha

mana-e-wahshat-khirami-ha-e-laila kaun hai
khana-e-majnun-e-sahra-gard be-darwaza tha

puchh mat ruswai-e-andaz-e-istighna-e-husn
dast marhun-e-hina rukhsar rahn-e-ghaza tha

nala-e-dil ne diye auraq-e-lakht-e-dil ba-baad
yaad-gar-e-nala ek diwan-e-be-shiraaza tha

hun charaghan-e-hawas jun kaghaz-e-atish-zada
dagh garm-e-koshish-e-ijad-e-dagh-e-taza tha

be-nawai tar sada-e-naghma-e-shohrat 'asad'
boriya yak nistan-alam buland aawaza tha
