ar gashtagi main alam-e-hasti se yas hai
taskin ko de nawed k marne ki as hai

leta nahin mere dil-e-awara ki khabar
ab tak wo janta hai k mere hi pas hai

kije bayan surur-e-tap-e-gam kahan talak
har mu mere badan pe zaban-e-sipas hai

hai wo gurur-e-husn se begana-e-wafa
har-chand us k pas dil-e-haq-shanas hai

pi jis qadar mile shab-e-mahtab main sharab
is balgami mizaj ko garmi hi ras hai

har yak makan ko hai makin se sharaf "Asad"
majnun jo mar gaya hai to jangal udas hai
