Thikana hai kahin jaen kahan na-chaar baiThe hain
Thikānā hai kahīñ jaa.eñ kahāñ nā-chār baiThe haiñ
ijāzat jab nahīñ dar kī pas-e-dīvār baiThe haiñ
ye matlab hai ki mahfil meñ manā.e aur man jaa.eñ
vo mere chheḌne ko ġhair se bezār baiThe haiñ
ḳharīdār aa rahe haiñ har taraf se naqd-e-jāñ le kar
vo yūsuf ban ke bikne ko sar-e-bāzār baiThe haiñ
achānak le na luuñ bosa ye khaTkā un ke dil meñ hai
mire pahlū meñ baiThe haiñ magar hoshyār baiThe haiñ
tumhāre āshiqoñ meñ be-qarārī kyā hī phailī hai
jidhar dekho jigar thāme hue do-chār baiThe haiñ
qayāmat hai sitam murde pe bhī un ko gavārā hai
mirā lāsha uThāne ke liye aġhyār baiThe haiñ
lab-e-bām aa ke dikhlā vo tamāshā tuur kā tum bhī
baḌe mauqe se dar par tālib-e-dīdār baiThe haiñ
'asar' kyūñ-kar na jānūñ us ke dar ko qibla-e-ālam
usī jānib ka.ī ruḳh kāfir o dīñ-dār baiThe haiñ
Thikana hai kahin jaen kahan na-chaar baiThe hain
ijazat jab nahin dar ki pas-e-diwar baiThe hain
ye matlab hai ki mahfil mein manae aur man jaen
wo mere chheDne ko ghair se bezar baiThe hain
KHaridar aa rahe hain har taraf se naqd-e-jaan le kar
wo yusuf ban ke bikne ko sar-e-bazar baiThe hain
achanak le na lun bosa ye khaTka un ke dil mein hai
mere pahlu mein baiThe hain magar hoshyar baiThe hain
tumhaare aashiqon mein be-qarari kya hi phaili hai
jidhar dekho jigar thame hue do-chaar baiThe hain
qayamat hai sitam murde pe bhi un ko gawara hai
mera lasha uThane ke liye aghyar baiThe hain
lab-e-baam aa ke dikhla wo tamasha tur ka tum bhi
baDe mauqe se dar par talib-e-didar baiThe hain
'asar' kyun-kar na jaanun us ke dar ko qibla-e-alam
usi jaanib kai ruKH kafir o din-dar baiThe hain
