Woh aake khwaab mei’n taskeen-e-iztiraab to de
wale mujhe tapish-e-dil, mazaal-e-khwaab to de

Kare hai qatl lagaawat mein tera ro dena
teree tarah koee tegh-e-nigah ko aab to de

Dikhaake jumbish-e-lab hee tamaam kar hamko
na de jo bosa, to mu’nh se kahee’n jawaab to de

Pila de oak se saaqee jo hamse nafrat hai
pyaala gar nahee’n deta na de, sharaab to de

'Asad' khushee se mere haath paa’nv phool gaye
kaha jo usne zara mere paa’nv daab to de
