Ye bhi kya ghar hai, barbaad bhi, aabaad bhi - ‘Asghar’ Gondavi

Hai dil-e-nakaam-e-aashiq mein tumhari yaad bhi,

Ye bhi kya ghar hai, barbaad bhi, aabaad bhi;

Dil ke mitne ka mujhe kuchh aur aisa gham nahin,

Haan magar itna, ke hai is mein tumhari yaad bhi;

Kis ko ye samjhaaiye nairang-e-kaar-e-aashiqui,

Tham gaye ashk-e-musalsal, ruk hai fariyaad bhi;

Seeney mein dard-e-muhabbat raaz ban kar rah gaya,

Ab wo haalat hai ke kar sakte nahin faryaad bhi;

Phaad daloonga gareeban, phor daloonga apna sar,

Hai mere aafatkade mein kais bhi farhaad bhi

Kuchh to ‘Asghar’ mujh mein hai, qaayam hai jis se zindagi,

Jaan bhi kahte hain is ko aur unki yaad bhi;

~ Hazrat ‘Asghar’ Gondavi
