usi ke jalwe the lekin visal-e-yar na tha
main us ke waste kis waqt be-qarar na tha

koi jahan mein kya aur tarahdar na tha
teri tarah mujhe dil par to ikhtiyar na tha

khiram-e-jalwa ke naqsh-e-qadam the lala-o-gul
kuchh aur is ke siwa mausam-e-bahaar na tha

ghalat hai hukm-e-jahannam kise hua hoga
ki mujh se badh ke to koi gunahgar na tha

lahad ko khol ke dekho to ab kafan bhi nahin
koi libas na tha jo ki mustaar na tha

tu mahw-e-gulban-o-gulzar ho gaya 'asi'
teri nazar mein khayal-e-jamal-e-yar na tha
