phirate hue kisii kii nazar dekhate rahe 
dil Khuun ho rahaa thaa magar dekhate rahe 

kuchh din ye bhii rang rahaa intazaar me.n 
aa.Nkh uTh ga_ii jidhar bas udhar dekhate rahe 

jab aashiyaa.N ki yaad asiirii me.n aa ga_ii 
u.Date huye havaa me.n sharar dekhate rahe 

[asiirii=prison; sharar=spark] 

sunate raho ki dekh liyaa jalvaa behijaab 
apanaa hii sab fareb-e-nazar dekhate rahe 

[behijaab=uncovered; fareb=deception] 

is vaaste ki aur ghaTe mol jins kaa 
mataluub un ko dil thaa jigar dekhate rahe 

[mataluub=longed for] 

saamaan-e-sad_hazaar tamaashaa thii beKhudii 
aa.Nkhe.n thii band aur 'Asar' dekhate rahe
