aalam-e-husn ki ranaiyan kab dekhte hain

'ālam-e-husn kī rā'nā.iyāñ kab dekhte haiñ

jo bhī taḳhlīq-e-do-'ālam kā sabab dekhte haiñ

vaqt-e-ruḳhsat bhī palaTte hue taiba kī taraf

yaar 'ushshāq-e-madīna to 'ajab dekhte haiñ

un ke rauze kī chamak aisī hai mujh jaise ġhulām

jitnā bhī dekh leñ par hadd-e-adab dekhte haiñ

un kā paiġhām-e-musāvāt sikhātā hai hameñ

ham se kam-zarf haiñ jo nām-o-nasab dekhte haiñ

bhiig jaatī haiñ ye hasrat bharī āñkheñ 'āsif'

qāfile un kī taraf vāloñ ke jab dekhte haiñ

'alam-e-husn ki ra'naiyan kab dekhte hain

jo bhi taKHliq-e-do-'alam ka sabab dekhte hain

waqt-e-ruKHsat bhi palaTte hue taiba ki taraf

yar 'ushshaq-e-madina to 'ajab dekhte hain

un ke rauze ki chamak aisi hai mujh jaise ghulam

jitna bhi dekh len par hadd-e-adab dekhte hain

un ka paigham-e-musawat sikhata hai hamein

hum se kam-zarf hain jo nam-o-nasab dekhte hain

bhig jati hain ye hasrat bhari aankhen 'asif'

qafile un ki taraf walon ke jab dekhte hain
