soch kar mil zara tawaqquf kar
yun na har ek se taaruf kar

zindagi kharch karne wale sun
maut par bhi to kuchh tasarruf kar

din-e-insaniyat ke jauhar se
ai khuda hum ko bhi musharraf kar

had mein rah kar hi be-takalluf ho
ho na mahsus yun takalluf kar

jhut go kaamran hota hai
apne sach par na ab tassuf kar

chhup ke jo bechte hain millat ko
aise logon pe khul ke tuf tuf kar

sari duniya badal rahi hai 'asad'
apna tabdil ab taaruf kar
