makr-o-fareb-o-kizb ke qail nahin rahe
makr-o-fareb-o-kizb ke qaa.il nahīñ rahe
ham zindagī kī dauḌ meñ shāmil nahīñ rahe
maiñ rāh-e-zindagī meñ unheñ chhoḌtā gayā
jo log e'tibār ke qābil nahīñ rahe
ġhaddār ham ko kahte haiñ jo un se ye kaho
ham apne rahnumāoñ ke qātil nahīñ rahe
jab vaqt aa paḌā to kaTāyā hai sar magar
ham zindagī meñ hāmī-e-bātil nahīñ rahe
ab dil ko ḳhvāhishāt se raġhbat nahīñ rahī
ab apnī zindagī meñ masā.il nahīñ rahe
pesh-e-nazar mafād hai īsār hai kahāñ
logoñ meñ ab dimāġh to haiñ dil nahīñ rahe
'ash.har' rahā unhī se zamāna ye bā-ḳhabar
jo log apne aap se ġhāfil nahīñ rahe
makr-o-fareb-o-kizb ke qail nahin rahe
hum zindagi ki dauD mein shamil nahin rahe
main rah-e-zindagi mein unhen chhoDta gaya
jo log e'tibar ke qabil nahin rahe
ghaddar hum ko kahte hain jo un se ye kaho
hum apne rahnumaon ke qatil nahin rahe
jab waqt aa paDa to kaTaya hai sar magar
hum zindagi mein hami-e-baatil nahin rahe
ab dil ko KHwahishat se raghbat nahin rahi
ab apni zindagi mein masail nahin rahe
pesh-e-nazar mafad hai isar hai kahan
logon mein ab dimagh to hain dil nahin rahe
'ashhar' raha unhi se zamana ye ba-KHabar
jo log apne aap se ghafil nahin rahe
