dastan wasl ki ek baat se aage na baDhi
aap ki shikwa-shikayat se aage na baDhi
lakh roti rahi jalti rahi afsos magar
zindagi shama ki ek raat se aage na baDhi
tu jafa-kesh raha aur mein wafa-kosh raha
baat teri bhi meri baat se aage na baDhi
yun to aaghaz-e-mohabbat mein baDe dawe the
dosti pahli mulaqat se aage na baDhi
mil gae jab wahi shikwe wahi qisse 'asad'
ye KHurafat KHurafat se aage na baDhi
Ghazal
Dastan wasl ki ek baat se aage na baDhi
