phirate huye kisii kii nazar dekhate rahe
dil Khuun ho rahaa thaa magar dekhate rahe

kuchh din ye bhii rang rahaa intazaar me.n
aa.nkh uTh ga_ii jidhar bas udhar dekhate rahe

jab aashiyaa.N ki yaad asiirii me.n aa ga_ii
u.Date huye havaa me.n sharar dekhate rahe

[asiirii = prison; sharar = spark] 

sunate raho ki dekh liyaa jalvaa behijaab
apanaa hii sab fareb-e-nazar dekhate rahe

[behijaab = uncovered; fareb = deception]

is vaaste ki aur ghaTe mol jins kaa
mataluub un ko dil thaa jigar dekhate rahe

[mataluub = longed for]

saamaan-e-sad-hazaar tamaashaa thii beKhudii
aa.Nkhe.n thii band aur "Asar" dekhate rahe
