zāda-e-rāh-e-baqā ġhair az fanā miltā nahīñ
hai ḳhudī jab tak ki insān meñ ḳhudā miltā nahīñ
justujū rahtī hai daulat kā patā miltā nahīñ
sar phirā karatā hai par zill-e-humā miltā nahīñ
hai tajassus shart yahāñ malne ko kyā miltā nahīñ
par kahīñ duniyā meñ sādiq āshnā miltā nahīñ
chashm-e-nai kī muddatoñ gardish to paayā ek til
rizq insāñ ko muqaddar se sivā miltā nahīñ
al-madad mauqa' madad kā hai ye ai bād-e-murād
Dūbtī hai apnī kashtī nā-ḳhudā miltā nahīñ
gumrahī ḳhud manzil-e-maqsūd kī hai rahnumā
ḳhizr mil jaate haiñ jis ko rāstā miltā nahīñ
shā'irān-e-hāl kyā mazmūn-e-nau paa.eñ 'asīr'
DhūñDhte haiñ ye taḳhallus bhī nayā miltā nahīñ
zada-e-rah-e-baqa ghair az fana milta nahin
hai KHudi jab tak ki insan mein KHuda milta nahin
justuju rahti hai daulat ka pata milta nahin
sar phira karata hai par zill-e-huma milta nahin
hai tajassus shart yahan malne ko kya milta nahin
par kahin duniya mein sadiq aashna milta nahin
chashm-e-nai ki muddaton gardish to paya ek til
rizq insan ko muqaddar se siwa milta nahin
al-madad mauqa' madad ka hai ye ai baad-e-murad
Dubti hai apni kashti na-KHuda milta nahin
gumrahi KHud manzil-e-maqsud ki hai rahnuma
KHizr mil jate hain jis ko rasta milta nahin
sha'iran-e-haal kya mazmun-e-nau paen 'asir'
DhunDhte hain ye taKHallus bhi naya milta nahin
