jaane apne sae se kyon aaj mujhe Dar lagta hai

jaane apne saa.e se kyoñ aaj mujhe Dar lagtā hai

jalā huā is shahar kā har ghar apnā hī ghar lagtā hai

kuchh itnā chehra TuuTā hai ghaav kuchh itne khaa.e haiñ

phuul bhī us ke hāthoñ kā ab mujh ko patthar lagtā hai

jis se is nanhe bachche kī maañ bahnoñ kā qatl huā

mausam-e-gul kā har ik manzar ḳhūnī manzar lagtā hai

vaise to vo merā bhī mahbūb dulārā hai lekin

us kī har ik baat se mere dil meñ ḳhanjar lagtā hai

Duubī ubhrī ubhrī Duubī har lamha har pal har roz

'āshā' us kī āñkhoñ meñ ek gahrā samundar lagtā hai

jaane apne sae se kyon aaj mujhe Dar lagta hai

jala hua is shahar ka har ghar apna hi ghar lagta hai

kuchh itna chehra TuTa hai ghaw kuchh itne khae hain

phul bhi us ke hathon ka ab mujh ko patthar lagta hai

jis se is nanhe bachche ki man bahnon ka qatl hua

mausam-e-gul ka har ek manzar KHuni manzar lagta hai

waise to wo mera bhi mahbub dulara hai lekin

us ki har ek baat se mere dil mein KHanjar lagta hai

Dubi ubhri ubhri Dubi har lamha har pal har roz

'asha' us ki aankhon mein ek gahra samundar lagta hai
