mehrāb-e-ḳhush-qayām se aage nikal ga.ī
ḳhushbū diye kī shaam se aage nikal ga.ī
ġhāfil na jāniye mujhe masrūf-e-jañg huuñ
us chup se jo kalām se aage nikal ga.ī
tum saath ho to dhuup kā ehsās tak nahīñ
ye dopahar to shaam se aage nikal ga.ī
marne kā koī ḳhauf na jiine kī aarzū
kyā zindagī davām se aage nikal ga.ī
'āsim' vo koī dost nahīñ thā jo Thahartā
duniyā thī apne kaam se aage nikal ga.ī
