wo kaj-kulah jo kabhi sang-bar guzra tha
vo kaj-kulah jo kabhī sañg-bār guzrā thā
kal is galī se vahī sogvār guzrā thā
koī charāġh jalā thā na koī dar vā thā
sunā hai raat ga.e shahryār guzrā thā
guhar jab aañkh se Tapkā zamīñ meñ jazb huā
vo ek lamha baḌā bā-vaqār guzrā thā
jo tere shahr ko gulgūñ bahār baḳhsh gayā
qadam qadam ba-sar-e-nok-e-ḳhār guzrā thā
vo jis ke chehre pe lipTā huā tabassum thā
chhupā.e hasrateñ dil meñ hazār guzrā thā
jise maiñ apnī sadā kā javāb samjhā thā
vo ik faqīr thā kar ke pukār guzrā thā
tire baġhair baḌe be-qarār haiñ 'āsī'
tirā vajūd jinheñ nāgavār guzrā thā
wo kaj-kulah jo kabhi sang-bar guzra tha
kal is gali se wahi sogwar guzra tha
koi charagh jala tha na koi dar wa tha
suna hai raat gae shahryar guzra tha
guhar jab aankh se Tapka zamin mein jazb hua
wo ek lamha baDa ba-waqar guzra tha
jo tere shahr ko gulgun bahaar baKHsh gaya
qadam qadam ba-sar-e-nok-e-KHar guzra tha
wo jis ke chehre pe lipTa hua tabassum tha
chhupae hasraten dil mein hazar guzra tha
jise main apni sada ka jawab samjha tha
wo ek faqir tha kar ke pukar guzra tha
tere baghair baDe be-qarar hain 'asi'
tera wajud jinhen nagawar guzra tha
