shahr to kab kaa jal chukaa 'asghar' — Asghar Shamim

saari duniyaa ko jitne vaalaa
apne bachchon se haar jaataa hai

kahaan sar chhupaaein pataa hi nahin
ki girne lagi ghar ki divaar ab

sar pe dastaar jab salaamat hai
dil mein aati hui anaa se Dar

talaatum mein kabhi utraa thaa 'asghar'
samundar aaj tak sahmaa huaa hai

dil mein 'asghar' ke khushiyon ki barsaat thi
hanste hanste vo kyuun gham-zada ho gayaa
