tumhīñ batāo tumhārā hai intizār kise
tumhārī yaad satātī hai baar baar kise

lahū kā lams to ḳhanjar ke lab ne chuus liyā
dikhā.e rañg-e-tabassum ye ashk-bār kise
khileñgī kis kī tamannā.eñ sahn-e-gulshan meñ
nasīb aa.egā vo mausam-e-bahār kise
ye dostoñ kī navāzish hai ai 'asad' varna
ḳhutūt aa.e haiñ is tarah be-shumār kise
