बे-ए'तिदालियों से सुबुक सब में हम हुए
जितने ज़ियादा हो गए उतने ही कम हुए
Through our excesses, we became light in everyone's view, The more we multiplied, the less substantial we grew.
Through our excesses, we became insignificant in everyone's eyes. The more we increased, the less substantial we became.

सख़्ती कशान-ए-इश्क़ की पूछे है क्या ख़बर

लिखते रहे जुनूँ की हिकायात-ए-ख़ूँ-चकाँ
हर-चंद इस में हाथ हमारे क़लम हुए

अल्लाह रे तेरी तुंदी-ए-ख़ू जिस के बीम से

अहल-ए-हवस की फ़त्ह है तर्क-ए-नबर्द-ए-इश्क़

नाले अदम में चंद हमारे सुपुर्द थे
जो वाँ न खिंच सके सो वो याँ आ के दम हुए

छोड़ी 'असद' न हम ने गदाई में दिल-लगी
