rote hain sun ke kahani meri

rote haiñ sun ke kahānī merī

kaash sunte vo zabānī merī

kaT gayā ġhair mare nāloñ se

vāh-rī saif-zabānī merī

aa.ina dekh ke farmāte haiñ

kis ġhazab kī hai javānī merī

phir tumheñ niiñd nahīñ aane kī

kahīñ sun lī jo kahānī merī

baar kyā paañv tirī mahfil meñ

hai subuk tujh pe girānī merī

hama-tan-gosh bane sunte haiñ

ġhair kahtā hai kahānī merī

yaad ā.ūñgā jafā-kāroñ ko

be-nishānī hai nishānī merī

iltijā ek muqaddar do the

ġhair kī maanī na maanī merī

hashr meñ kuchh na huā mujh se savāl

vāh-rī hech-mudānī merī

ab uTheñge tire dar se mar kar

kabhī uThtī nahīñ Thānī merī

mere ash'ār fuġhān-e-dil haiñ

qadr kartā hai 'fuġhānī' merī

ḳhusrav-e-mulk-e-suḳhan-dānī huuñ

daad hai bāj-satānī merī

dil meñ poshīda rahegī kab tak

ātish-e-shauq-e-nihānī merī

tār-e-gesū se nazar jā uljhī

dekhnā resha-davānī merī

dil kī hālat se ḳhabar detī hai

'asar' āshufta-bayānī merī

rote hain sun ke kahani meri

kash sunte wo zabani meri

kaT gaya ghair mare nalon se

wah-ri saif-zabani meri

aaina dekh ke farmate hain

kis ghazab ki hai jawani meri

phir tumhein nind nahin aane ki

kahin sun li jo kahani meri

bar kya panw teri mahfil mein

hai subuk tujh pe girani meri

hama-tan-gosh bane sunte hain

ghair kahta hai kahani meri

yaad aaunga jafa-karon ko

be-nishani hai nishani meri

iltija ek muqaddar do the

ghair ki mani na mani meri

hashr mein kuchh na hua mujh se sawal

wah-ri hech-mudani meri

ab uThenge tere dar se mar kar

kabhi uThti nahin Thani meri

mere ash'ar fughan-e-dil hain

qadr karta hai 'fughani' meri

KHusraw-e-mulk-e-suKHan-dani hun

dad hai baj-satani meri

dil mein poshida rahegi kab tak

aatish-e-shauq-e-nihani meri

tar-e-gesu se nazar ja uljhi

dekhna resha-dawani meri

dil ki haalat se KHabar deti hai

'asar' aashufta-bayani meri
