yak-zarra-e-zamin nahin be-kar bagh ka
yan jada bhi fatila hai lale ke dagh ka

be-mai kise hai taqat-e-ashob-e-agahi
khincha hai ijz-e-hausla ne khat ayagh ka

bulbul ke karobar pe hain khanda-ha-e-gul
kahte hain jis ko ishq khalal hai dimagh ka

taza nahin hai nashsha-e-fikr-e-sukhan mujhe
tiryaki-e-qadim hun dud-e-charagh ka

sau bar band-e-ishq se aazad hum hue
par kya karen ki dil hi adu hai faragh ka

be-khun-e-dil hai chashm mein mauj-e-nigah ghubar
ye mai-kada kharab hai mai ke suragh ka

bagh-e-shagufta tera bisat-e-nashat-e-dil
abr-e-bahaar khum-kada kis ke dimagh ka?

josh-e-bahaar-e-kulfat-e-nazzara hai 'asad'
hai abr pamba rauzan-e-diwaar-e-bagh ka
