talash-e-yar mein har mod se guzarte hue
mile hain log mujhe tutte bikharte hue

kabhi to aa ke mere dil ko de tasalli bhi
zamana bit gaya intizar karte hue

hawaen bughz-o-kudurat ki chal rahi hon jahan
basao pyar ka gulshan wahan pe darte hue

ye soch kar koi ahd-o-wafa karo mujhe se
ki jaan denge rah-e-shauq se guzarte hue

tarash hone laga baghban bahaaron se
chaman ke phul nazar aae jo bikharte hue

ye mana kawishen qismat sanwar deti hain
zamana chahiye taqdir ko sanwarte hue

tumhaari bazm mein aaega 'ashna' ek din
hujum-e-yas ki chadar ko chaak karte hue
