***Mere watn main tuje itna pyaar doon,

K apna sab kuth tuj pe war doon.

aane na doon aanch teri hurmat pe,

apne lahoo se teri qismat sanwar doon.

rehne na doon tuj pe koi qarz baaqi,

khoon-e-dil de k tere sare qarz utar doon.

De agar ALLAH muje lakh bar bhi ‘ashfaq’

har dafa zindagi tameer-e-watn main guzar doon”**.
