ishq mujhko naheeN, wehshat hee sahee
meree wehshat, teree shohrat hee sahee.

qata`a keeje na ta`alluq ham se
kuchch naheeN hai to `adaavat hee sahee.

mere hone meiN hai kya ruswaaee ?
'ei woh majlis naheeN KHalwat hee sahee.

ham bhee dushman to naheeN haiN apne
GHair ko tujh se mohabbat hee sahee.

apnee hastee hee se ho, jo kuchch ho !
aagahee gar naheeN GHaflat hee sahee.

'umr harchand ke hai barq-e-KHiraam
dil ke KHooN karne ki fursat hee sahee.

ham koee tarq-e-wafa karte haiN
na sahee ishq, museebat hee sahee.

kuchch to de 'ei falak-e-na_insaaf
aah-o-fariyaad ki ruKHasat hee sahee.

ham bhee tasleem kee KHoo Daalenge
be_niyaazee teree `aadat hee sahee.

yaar se cheDa chalee jaay, 'Asad'
gar nahee wasl to hasrat hee sahee
