us se ummid-e-wafa ai dil-e-nashad na kar

us se ummīd-e-vafā ai dil-e-nāshād na kar

zindagī apnī is armān meñ barbād na kar

gila-e-zaur na kar shikva-e-bedār na kar

zulm sahne kā mazā ye hai ki fariyād na kar

ḳhalvat-e-dil hai tire aa ke Thaharne kī jagah

terī marzī use barbād kar ābād na kar

bāġhbāñ taak meñ hai ghaat meñ sayyād hai dekh

sair-e-gulshan abhī ai bulbul-e-nāshād na kar

kuchh taḌapne kā sisakne kā mazā lene de

itnī tājīl mire qatl meñ jallād na kar

ab mujhe tāqat-e-parvāz nahīñ ai sayyād

rahne de qaid qafas se mujhe āzād na kar

uuprī dil se sahī kuchh to tasallī ho jaa.e

saaf inkār se zālim mujhe nāshād na kar

dar-e-mahbūb tak ai baḳht mujhe pahūñchā de

aur kuchh us se sivā tū mirī imdād na kar

be-dhaḌak jaan sabhī ahl-e-vafā dete haiñ

tū faqat mid.hat-e-jā.bāzī-e-farhād na kar

ġham-e-dildār ne rag rag kā lahū chuus liyā

mujh se ab chheḌ tū ai nashtar-e-faulād na kar

laakh dushvār sahī zabt-e-fuġhāñ ai bulbul

magar ik uf bhī to be-marzī-e-sayyād na kar

sadma-e-hijr ke shikvoñ pe vo bole shab-e-vasl

ga.ī guzrī huī bātoñ ko tū ab yaad na kar

ai dil us shoḳh kī tasvīr tasavvur meñ to khīñch

kaam maanī se na rakh minnat-e-bahzād na kar

'āsī'-e-be-sar-o-sāmāñ ko paḌā rahne de

apne kūche se uThā kar use nāshād na kar

us se ummid-e-wafa ai dil-e-nashad na kar

zindagi apni is arman mein barbaad na kar

gila-e-zaur na kar shikwa-e-bedar na kar

zulm sahne ka maza ye hai ki fariyaad na kar

KHalwat-e-dil hai tere aa ke Thaharne ki jagah

teri marzi use barbaad kar aabaad na kar

baghban tak mein hai ghat mein sayyaad hai dekh

sair-e-gulshan abhi ai bulbul-e-nashad na kar

kuchh taDapne ka sisakne ka maza lene de

itni tajil mere qatl mein jallad na kar

ab mujhe taqat-e-parwaz nahin ai sayyaad

rahne de qaid qafas se mujhe aazad na kar

upri dil se sahi kuchh to tasalli ho jae

saf inkar se zalim mujhe nashad na kar

dar-e-mahbub tak ai baKHt mujhe pahuncha de

aur kuchh us se siwa tu meri imdad na kar

be-dhaDak jaan sabhi ahl-e-wafa dete hain

tu faqat midhat-e-jabazi-e-farhad na kar

gham-e-dildar ne rag rag ka lahu chus liya

mujh se ab chheD tu ai nashtar-e-faulad na kar

lakh dushwar sahi zabt-e-fughan ai bulbul

magar ek uf bhi to be-marzi-e-sayyaad na kar

sadma-e-hijr ke shikwon pe wo bole shab-e-wasl

gai guzri hui baaton ko tu ab yaad na kar

ai dil us shoKH ki taswir tasawwur mein to khinch

kaam mani se na rakh minnat-e-bahzad na kar

'asi'-e-be-sar-o-saman ko paDa rahne de

apne kuche se uTha kar use nashad na kar
