waqt ke regzar se nikle
mar gae to shumar se nikle

kya zaruri hai raushni ke liye
chand hi zulf-e-yar se nikle

wasta tha kisi mohabbat ka
gul tah-e-khar-zar se nikle

khub guzra tha din judai ka
hum shab-e-intizar se nikle

ishq thahra hua hai raste mein
husn bhi intishaar se nikle

aaina jab bana liya 'asim'
aks qurb-o-jawar se nikle
