nae libas ko hum tar-tar kya karte

na.e libās ko ham tār-tār kyā karte

milī thī bhiik meñ fasl-e-bahār kyā karte

ham apne zaḳhm-e-tamannā shumār kyā karte

tamām umr yahī kārobār kyā karte

jab āftāb ka.ī apnī dastaras meñ rahe

tumhīñ kaho ki charāġhoñ se pyaar kyā karte

hamāre haath meñ patthar the phal girāne ko

ham āñdhiy.oñ kā bhalā intizār kyā karte

kabhī ham apnī vafāoñ se mutma.in na hue

nigāh-e-yār tujhe sharmsār kyā karte

hamārā dard bhī kuchh tum se muḳhtalif to na thā

ham ahl-e-zarf the chīḳh-o-pukār kyā karte

unheñ bhī apnī ḳhushī thī aziiz ai 'asrār'

jo merā dil na dukhāte to yaar kyā karte

nae libas ko hum tar-tar kya karte

mili thi bhik mein fasl-e-bahaar kya karte

hum apne zaKHm-e-tamanna shumar kya karte

tamam umr yahi karobar kya karte

jab aaftab kai apni dastaras mein rahe

tumhin kaho ki charaghon se pyar kya karte

hamare hath mein patthar the phal girane ko

hum aandhiyon ka bhala intizar kya karte

kabhi hum apni wafaon se mutmain na hue

nigah-e-yar tujhe sharmsar kya karte

hamara dard bhi kuchh tum se muKHtalif to na tha

hum ahl-e-zarf the chiKH-o-pukar kya karte

unhen bhi apni KHushi thi aziz ai 'asrar'

jo mera dil na dukhate to yar kya karte
