zindagi uljhi hai bikhre hue gesu ki tarah
zindagī uljhī hai bikhre hue gesū kī tarah
ġham piye jaate haiñ umDe hue aañsū kī tarah
aaj vahshat kā ye aalam hai ki har insāñ hai
dasht-e-tajrīd ke bhāge hue aahū kī tarah
zulm kā aag ugaltā huā sūraj sar par
tapish-e-dard se har saañs hai ab lū kī tarah
hai gulistāñ meñ tirī gul-badanī kā shohrā
kaash tū guzre idhar se kabhī ḳhushbū kī tarah
assī ummīd pe ā.īna-e-dil dhote haiñ
mun.akis ho koī sūrat mire mah-rū kī tarah
shab-e-furqat meñ bhī tanhā.ī mayassar na huī
laakh ġham ghere rahe mujh ko jafā-jū kī tarah
be-dilī shart-e-mulāqāt hai to yuuñ hī sahī
ham tire shahr meñ ab ā.eñge sādhū kī tarah
Dūbne lagtī hai jab rañg ke sailāb meñ aañkh
yaad tab us kī bachā letī hai jaadū kī tarah
sarzanish bhī tirī bantī hai sahārā merā
rāh-e-dushvār meñ phaile hue baazū kī tarah
lazzat-e-dahr meñ gum hotā hai jab dil 'asrā'
tab kasak uThtā hai vo dard ke pahlū kī tarah
zindagi uljhi hai bikhre hue gesu ki tarah
gham piye jate hain umDe hue aansu ki tarah
aaj wahshat ka ye aalam hai ki har insan hai
dasht-e-tajrid ke bhage hue aahu ki tarah
zulm ka aag ugalta hua suraj sar par
tapish-e-dard se har sans hai ab lu ki tarah
hai gulistan mein teri gul-badani ka shohra
kash tu guzre idhar se kabhi KHushbu ki tarah
assi ummid pe aaina-e-dil dhote hain
munakis ho koi surat mere mah-ru ki tarah
shab-e-furqat mein bhi tanhai mayassar na hui
lakh gham ghere rahe mujh ko jafa-ju ki tarah
be-dili shart-e-mulaqat hai to yun hi sahi
hum tere shahr mein ab aaenge sadhu ki tarah
Dubne lagti hai jab rang ke sailab mein aankh
yaad tab us ki bacha leti hai jadu ki tarah
sarzanish bhi teri banti hai sahaara mera
rah-e-dushwar mein phaile hue bazu ki tarah
lazzat-e-dahr mein gum hota hai jab dil 'asra'
tab kasak uThta hai wo dard ke pahlu ki tarah
