tere bimar se uljha hua hai
mere mohsin ko jaane kya hua hai

safina sahilon tak aa to jae
hawa ne rasta badla hua hai

faza mein tishnagi phaili hui hai
musafir dasht mein thahra hua hai

ikatthe ghumte hain qais-o-laila
zamana is-qadar badla hua hai

main ab tak gir gaya hota zamin par
kisi ke hath ne thama hua hai

teri jaanib qadam uthte nahin hain
mujhe haalat ne roka hua hai

adhuri khwahishen kab tak sametun
ye malba dur tak bikhra hua hai

hamare ghar ke andheron ka 'asim'
pas-e-diwar bhi charcha hua hai
