gham-e-hayat se jab wasta paDa hoga

ġham-e-hayāt se jab vāsta paḌā hogā

mujhe bhī aap ne dil se bhulā diyā hogā

sunā hai aaj vo ġhamgīn the malūl se the

koī ḳharāb-e-vafā yaad aa gayā hogā

navāzisheñ hoñ bahut ehtiyāt se varna

mirī tabāhī se tum par bhī tabsirā hogā

kisī kā aaj sahārā liyā to hai dil ne

magar vo dard bahut sabr-āzmā hogā

judā.ī ishq kī taqdīr hī sahī ġham-ḳhvār

magar na jaane vahāñ un kā haal kyā hogā

bas aa bhī jaao badal deñ hayāt kī taqdīr

hamāre saath zamāne kā faisla hogā

ḳhayāl-e-qurbat-e-mahbūb chhoḌ dāman chhoḌ

ki merā farz mirī raah dekhtā hogā

bas ek nāra-e-rindāna ek jur.a-e-talḳh

phir us ke baad jo aalam bhī ho nayā hogā

mujhī se shikva-e-gustāḳhi-e-nazar kyuuñ hai

tumheñ to saarā zamāna hī dekhtā hogā

'asad' ko tum nahīñ pahchānte ta.ajjub hai

use to shahr kā har shaḳhs jāntā hogā

gham-e-hayat se jab wasta paDa hoga

mujhe bhi aap ne dil se bhula diya hoga

suna hai aaj wo ghamgin the malul se the

koi KHarab-e-wafa yaad aa gaya hoga

nawazishen hon bahut ehtiyat se warna

meri tabahi se tum par bhi tabsira hoga

kisi ka aaj sahaara liya to hai dil ne

magar wo dard bahut sabr-azma hoga

judai ishq ki taqdir hi sahi gham-KHwar

magar na jaane wahan un ka haal kya hoga

bas aa bhi jao badal den hayat ki taqdir

hamare sath zamane ka faisla hoga

KHayal-e-qurbat-e-mahbub chhoD daman chhoD

ki mera farz meri rah dekhta hoga

bas ek nara-e-rindana ek jura-e-talKH

phir us ke baad jo aalam bhi ho naya hoga

mujhi se shikwa-e-gustaKHi-e-nazar kyun hai

tumhein to sara zamana hi dekhta hoga

'asad' ko tum nahin pahchante tajjub hai

use to shahr ka har shaKHs jaanta hoga
