maze jahan k apni nazar mein khak nahi

siway khun-e-jigar, so jigar mein khak nahi

magar gubar hue par hawa ura le jaye

wagarna tab-o-tawan bal-o-par main khak nahi

ye kis bahishtshamail ki amad-amad hai

k gair jalwa-e-gul rahguzar main khak nahi

bhala use na sahi, kuch mujhi ko raham ata

asar mere nafas-e-beasar main khak nahi

khayal-e-jalwa-e-gul se kharab hai maikash

sharabkhane k diwar-o-dar main khak nahi

hua hun ishq ki garatgari se sharminda

siway hasrat-e-tamir ghar main khak nahi

hamare sher hain ab sirf dillagi k ‘Asad’

khula k fayeda arz-e-hunar mein khak nahi
