us se mil kar usi ko puchhte hain

mohsin apnaiyat ki faza bhi to ho

ai mashihao agar chaaragari hai dushwar

badan ko raundne walo zamir zinda hai

ek muddat ki rifaqat ka ho kuchh to inam

pahle jo kaha ab bhi wahi kahte hain mohsin

mohsin aur bhi nikhrega in sheron ka mafhum

lafzon ko etimad ka lahja bhi chahiye

koi surat nahin KHarabi ki

nairangi-e-siyasat-e-dauran to dekhiye

lafzon ke ehtiyat ne mani badal diye

jaane wale sab aa chuke mohsin

suraj chaDha to phir bhi wahi log zad mein the

sada-e-waqt ki gar baz-gasht san pao

raushni hain safar mein rahte hain
