sochon ki gahri jhil mein utra hua hun main
puchho na kis khayal mein duba hua hun main

kab tak mere wajud ki dhundoge kirchiyan
shishe ki tarah tut ke bikhra hua hun main

pursish zarur hogi ye maidan-e-hashr mein
mazi ko soch soch ke sahma hua hun main

kya puchhte ho mujh se dil-e-muzmahil ka haal
rang-e-khayal-e-yar se bahla hua hun main

be-nam manzilon ka pata kis se puchhiye
'ashraf' ye kaisi rah mein khoya hua hun main
