kaisaa aanaa kaisaa jaanaa mere ghar kyaa aaoge — Imdad Imam Asar

gulshan mein kaun bulbul-e-naalaan ko de panaah
gulchin o baaghbaan bhi hain sayyaad ki taraf

kartaa hai ai 'asar' dil-e-khun-gashta kaa gila
aashiq vo kyaa ki khasta-e-tegh-e-jafaa na ho

saath duniyaa kaa nahin taalib-e-duniyaa dete
apne kutton ko ye murdaar liye phirti hai

aaina dekh ke farmaate hain
kis ghazab ki hai javaani meri

kuchh samajh kar us mah-e-khubi se ki thi dosti
ye na samjhe the ki dushman aasmaan ho jaaegaa

dil ki haalat se khabar deti hai
'asar' aashufta-bayaani meri

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

kisi din meri rusvaai kaa ye kaaran na ban jaae
tumhaaraa shahr se jaanaa miraa bimaar ho jaanaa

jab nigaahon ke ishaaraat badal jaate hain
khud-ba-khud pyaar ke jazbaat badal jaate hain

'shujaaa' maut se pahle zarur ji lenaa
ye kaam bhuul na jaanaa baDaa zaruri hai

gar mujh ko miTaanaa thaa miTaa dete khushi se
anjaam 'vijay' soch to lete vo badi kaa
