kare hai baada tire lab se kasb-e-rañg-e-faroġh
ḳhat-e-piyāla sarāsar nigāh-e-gul-chīñ hai
kabhī to is dil-e-shorīda kī bhī daad mile
ki ek umr se hasrat-parast-e-bālīñ hai
bajā hai gar na sune nāla-hā-e-bulbul-e-zār
ki gosh-e-gul nam-e-shabnam se pamba-āgīñ hai
'asad' hai naza.a meñ chal bevafā barā-e-ḳhudā
maqām-e-tark-e-hijāb o vidā-e-tamkīñ hai
