waqt be-waqt ye poshak meri tak mein hai
jaanta hun ki meri khak meri tak mein hai

mujh ko duniya ke azabon se darane walo
ek aalam pas-e-aflak meri tak mein hai

sanp har dasht mein karta hai taaqub mera
bahr-e-be-ab ka tairak meri tak mein hai

jama karta hai shawahid mere hone ke khilaf
dar-haqiqat mera idrak meri tak mein hai

hai mere gird hifazat ke liye ek hisar
ho agar koi ghazabnak meri tak mein hai

us se kahna mujhe hasil hai tahaffuz ghaibi
jo pas-e-parda-e-be-chaak meri tak mein hai

wo to yun hai ki bachata hai bachane wala
warna ek lashkar-e-saffak meri tak mein hai

ek taraf ruh wazu mein nahin hoti shamil
ek taraf sajda-e-napak meri tak mein hai

aashna ek hai is shahr mein 'asim' mera
aur wo dushman-e-bebak meri tak mein hai
