yaad jab aaya koi bichhda hua
zakhm dil ka aur bhi gahra hua

hum bhi apne waqt ke bigde hue
wo bhi apne waqt ka tuta hua

tutna tha dil parae hath se
aap se tuta chalo achchha hua

dosti-o-mahr-o-isar-o-wafa
in sarabon par mujhe dhoka hua

aap qimat kyon lagate hain meri
main koi sauda nahin bikta hua

main to itna jaanta hun bas 'asar'
jo hua mere liye achchha hua
