yun achanak kisi ki yaad aai
dil mein bajne lagi hai shahnai

kyon ye dil us gali mein jata hai
jis mein hai har qadam pe ruswai

us ki har ek ada nashat-angez
khamushi us ki ek ranai

husn ka raaz to khula hi nahin
hain shab-o-roz sab tamashai

phul banti hain bas wahi kaliyan
chum leti hai jin ko purwai

fasle darmiyan mein kitne hain
main kahan aur kahan wo harjai

katte kaise zindagi hum log
gar na hote tere tamannai

dil ne har bar tera nam liya
koi surat agar nazar aai

mausam-e-gham bataen kya hai 'asar'
kam-sinon ki jawan angdai
