us se mil kar usi ko puchhte hain

nairangi-e-siyasat-e-dauran to dekhiye

badan ko raundne walo zamir zinda hai

hamari jaan pe dohra azab hai mohsin

mohsin apnaiyat ki faza bhi to ho

KHanda-e-lab mein nihan zaKHm-e-hunar dekhega kaun

iblagh ke liye na tum aKHbar dekhna

baat kahne ki hamesha bhule

ai mashihao agar chaaragari hai dushwar

socha tha ki us bazm mein KHamosh rahenge

kis qadar nadim hua hun main bura kah kar use

jo mile the hamein kitabon mein

zindagi gul hai naghma hai mahtab hai

pahle jo kaha ab bhi wahi kahte hain mohsin

usko chaha tha kabhi KHud ki tarah
