ashiq-e-zar huun juz ishq mujhe kaam nahin
talib-e-kufr nahin tabe-e-islam nahin
gham nahin kuchh bhi kharabi se hai ham maston ko
gardish-e-jam hai ye gardish-e-ayyam nahin
qatl-e-ashiq ke liye ek ada bas hai tiri
bismil-e-ishq ko kuchh hajat-e-samsam nahin
kya hua abr bhi hai mai bhi hai saghar bhi hai
hai ye sab hech agar saqi-e-gulfam nahin
dekh kar mujh ko tujhe kyuun hai tahayyur naseh
mashrab-e-ishq hai ye mazhab-e-islam nahin
khana-e-naz hai vo balki charagh-e-murda
dil ke aine men gar ru-e-dil-aram nahin
ishq-e-khadim se hua hai dil-e-‘asim’ maamur
is liye din-o-duniya se use kaam nahin
