sehn-e-gulshan mein kai daam bichhe hain ai 'asar' — Asar Sahbai

tumhaari yaad mein duniyaa ko huun bhulaae hue
tumhaare dard ko siine se huun lagaae hue

ye husn-e-dil-fareb ye aalam shabaab kaa
goyaa chhalak rahaa hai piyaala sharaab kaa

tere shabaab ne kiyaa mujh ko junun se aashnaa
mere junun ne bhar diye rang tiri shabaab mein

jis husn ki hai chashm-e-tamannaa ko justuju
vo aaftaab mein hai na hai maahtaab mein

ilaahi kashti-e-dil bah rahi hai kis samundar mein
nikal aati hain maujein ham jise saahil samajhte hain

saari duniyaa se be-niyaazi hai
vaah ai mast-e-naaz kyaa kahnaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun
