dil se takra ke ye tanhaai ke maare patthar
aaNkh se girte rahe tooT ke khaare patthar

itni ooNchi na karo apni anaa ko yaaroN
ek din hoNge ye saare hi nazaare patthar

kab talak zeest rahegi yooN hi bekhud apni
rooh ki jheel meN ab koi to maare patthar

dar pe aflaak ke ab tak koi jumbish na hui
hamko lagte haiN sabhi chaaNd sitaare patthar

khud ko maiN rok na paaooN chala aaooN dauda
kaash ik baar mujhey yooN wo pukaare patthar

jisne aazaar ki har chot sahi hai "aasim"
usse behtar bhi kisi ne haiN saNwaare patthar ?
