donon ne donon haathon se luuTaa hamein 'asad' — Asad Awan

khud-bakhud chhoD gae hain to chalo Thiik huaa
itne ahbaab kahaan ham se sanbhaale jaate

nit-nayaa tu ne zamaane mein kharidaa badlaa
tere kahne pe kahaan ham ne aqida badlaa

umr-bhar maan ki nasihat pe zamaane mein 'asad'
faatima-zehraa ke bachchon se vafaadaari ki

is mohabbat ne hamein joD diyaa aapas mein
varna ham donon kaa ik jaisaa aqida to na thaa

koi to dekhe miri bebasi mohabbat mein
main aap apni jahaan mein hansi uDaataa phirun

guzar na jaae ye mausam basant kaa mausam
banafsha phuul khile har taraf zamin ke liye

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
