paas-e-adab men josh-e-tamannaa liye hue

main bhii huuN ek hubaab men dariyaa liye hue

rag-rag men aur kuchh na rahaa juz Khayaal-e-dost

us shoKh ko huuN aaj saraapaa liye hue

saramaayaa-e-hayaat hai hirmaane-e-aashiqii

hai saath ek suurat-e-zebaa liye hue

josh-e-junuuN men chhuuT gayaa aastaan-e-yaar

rote hain muuNh men daaman-e-saharaa liye hue

‘Asghar’ hujuum-e-dard-e-Gariibii men usakii yaad

aaii hai ik tilismii tamannaa liye hue
