le kahīñ duur chal ai ġham-e-dil mujhe
raas aa.ī nahīñ terī mahfil mujhe
guzre haiñ din jise dekhte dekhte
dekhtā hī nahīñ ab vo qātil mujhe
dil kī duniyā kā aalam batā duuñ bhalā
paas kuchh bhī nahīñ sab hai hāsil mujhe
Dūbtā hī rahā aur ḳhāmosh thā
dekhtā rah gayā der sāhil mujhe
ye sadā de rahā kaun 'ahsan' batā
raah kaisī dikhā.ī hai manzil mujhe
