arz-e-niyaaz-e-ishq ke qaabil nahiin rahaa

arz-e-niyaaz-e-ishq ke qaabil nahiin rahaa

jis dil pe naaz thaa mujhe vo dil nahiin rahaa

jaataa huuN daaG-e-hasarat-e-hastii liye hue

huuN shammaa-e-kushtaa daraKhur-e-mahafil nahiin rahaa

marane kii ai dil aur hii tadabiir kar ki main

shaayaan-e-dast-o-baazuu-e-qaatil nahiin rahaa

ba-ruu-e-shash jihat dar-e-aaiinaabaaz hai

yaaN imtiaaz-e-naakis-o-qaamil nahiin rahaaa

vaa kar diye hain shauq ne band-e-naqaab-e-husn

Gair az nigaah ab koii haail nahiin rahaa

go main rahaa rahiin-e-sitam haaye rozagaar

lekin tere Khayaal se Gaafil nahiin rahaa

dil se havaa-e-kisht-e-vafaa miT ke vaaN

haasil sivaaye hasrat-e-haasil nahiin rahaa

bedaad-e-ishq se nahiin Darata magar 'Asad'

jis dil pe naaz thaa mujhe vo dil nahiin rahaa
