Aah ko chaahiye ik umr asar hone tak
Kaun jitaa hai teri zulf ke sar hone tak

Daam har mauj meN hai halqaa-E-sad_kaam-E-nahang
DekheN kyaa guzre hai qatare pe guhar hone tak

Aashiqii sabr-talab aur tamannaa betaab
Dil kaa kyaa rang karuuN Khuun-E-jigar hone tak

Ham ne maanaa ke taGhaaful na karoge lekin
Khaak ho jaayeNge ham tum ko Khabar hone tak

Partav-E-Khuur se hai shabanam ko fanaa kii taaliim
MaiN bhii huuN ek inaayat kii nazar hone tak

Yak_nazar besh nahiiN fursat-E-hastii Ghaafil
Garmii-E-bazm hai ik raqs-E-sharar hone tak

Gham-E-hastii kaa ‘Asad’ kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
Shamm’aa har rang meN jaltii hai sehar hone tak
