us se ummīd-e-vafā ai dil-e-nāshād na kar
zindagī apnī is armān meñ barbād na kar
gila-e-zaur na kar shikva-e-bedār na kar
zulm sahne kā mazā ye hai ki fariyād na kar
ḳhalvat-e-dil hai tire aa ke Thaharne kī jagah
terī marzī use barbād kar ābād na kar
bāġhbāñ taak meñ hai ghaat meñ sayyād hai dekh
sair-e-gulshan abhī ai bulbul-e-nāshād na kar
kuchh taḌapne kā sisakne kā mazā lene de
itnī tājīl mire qatl meñ jallād na kar
ab mujhe tāqat-e-parvāz nahīñ ai sayyād
rahne de qaid qafas se mujhe āzād na kar
uuprī dil se sahī kuchh to tasallī ho jaa.e
saaf inkār se zālim mujhe nāshād na kar
dar-e-mahbūb tak ai baḳht mujhe pahūñchā de
aur kuchh us se sivā tū mirī imdād na kar
be-dhaḌak jaan sabhī ahl-e-vafā dete haiñ
tū faqat mid.hat-e-jā.bāzī-e-farhād na kar
ġham-e-dildār ne rag rag kā lahū chuus liyā
mujh se ab chheḌ tū ai nashtar-e-faulād na kar
laakh dushvār sahī zabt-e-fuġhāñ ai bulbul
magar ik uf bhī to be-marzī-e-sayyād na kar
sadma-e-hijr ke shikvoñ pe vo bole shab-e-vasl
ga.ī guzrī huī bātoñ ko tū ab yaad na kar
ai dil us shoḳh kī tasvīr tasavvur meñ to khīñch
kaam maanī se na rakh minnat-e-bahzād na kar
'āsī'-e-be-sar-o-sāmāñ ko paḌā rahne de
apne kūche se uThā kar use nāshād na kar
us se ummid-e-wafa ai dil-e-nashad na kar
zindagi apni is arman mein barbaad na kar
gila-e-zaur na kar shikwa-e-bedar na kar
zulm sahne ka maza ye hai ki fariyaad na kar
KHalwat-e-dil hai tere aa ke Thaharne ki jagah
teri marzi use barbaad kar aabaad na kar
baghban tak mein hai ghat mein sayyaad hai dekh
sair-e-gulshan abhi ai bulbul-e-nashad na kar
kuchh taDapne ka sisakne ka maza lene de
itni tajil mere qatl mein jallad na kar
ab mujhe taqat-e-parwaz nahin ai sayyaad
rahne de qaid qafas se mujhe aazad na kar
upri dil se sahi kuchh to tasalli ho jae
saf inkar se zalim mujhe nashad na kar
dar-e-mahbub tak ai baKHt mujhe pahuncha de
aur kuchh us se siwa tu meri imdad na kar
be-dhaDak jaan sabhi ahl-e-wafa dete hain
tu faqat midhat-e-jabazi-e-farhad na kar
gham-e-dildar ne rag rag ka lahu chus liya
mujh se ab chheD tu ai nashtar-e-faulad na kar
lakh dushwar sahi zabt-e-fughan ai bulbul
magar ek uf bhi to be-marzi-e-sayyaad na kar
sadma-e-hijr ke shikwon pe wo bole shab-e-wasl
gai guzri hui baaton ko tu ab yaad na kar
ai dil us shoKH ki taswir tasawwur mein to khinch
kaam mani se na rakh minnat-e-bahzad na kar
'asi'-e-be-sar-o-saman ko paDa rahne de
apne kuche se uTha kar use nashad na kar
