Rone se aur ishq meiN be_baak ho gaye 
dhoye gaye ham 'eise ki bas paak ho gaye 

sarf-e-baha-e-mai hue aalaat-e-maikashee 
the; ye hee do hisaab, so yoN paak ho gaye 

ruswa-e-dahar go hue aawaargee se tum 
baare tabeeyatoN ke to chaalaak ho gaye 

kehta hai kaun naala-e-bulbul ko be_asar 
parde meiN gul ke laakh jigar chaak ho gaye 

pooche hai kya wujood-o-adam 'ehl-e-shauq ka 
aap apnee aag se KHas-o-KHaashaak ho gaye 

karne gaye the; usse taGHaaful ka ham gila 
kee ek hee nigaah ki bas KHaak ho gaye 

is DHang se uTHaayee kal usne 'Asad' ki laash 
dushman bhee jisko dekhke GHamnaak ho gaye
