Wafa mai ab yeh hunar ikhtiyaar karna hai
Wo such kahey na kahey aitbaar karna hai

Yeh tujh ko jaagtey rehnay ka shauq kab say hua
Mujhey toh khair tera intezaa karna hai

Hawa kay zadd mai jalaaney hain ansooon kay chiraagh
Kabhi yeh jashn sar-e-raah guzaar karna hai

Woh mukura kay nayee waswason mai daal gaya
Khayal tha keh usay sharmsaar karna hai

Misaal-e-shaakh-e-barehna khizaan ki rut mai kabhi
Khud apnay jism ko bai barg-o-baar karna hai

Tairay firaaq mai din kis tarhan kattey apnay
Keh shughal-e-shab toh sitaarey shumaar karna hai

Chaloo yeh ashq hi moti samajh kar baich ayeen
Kisi tarhan toh humein roz gaar karna hai

Kabhi toh dil mai chupay zakhm bhi numayan ho
Qaba samajh kay badan taar taar karna hai

Khuda khabar yeh koi zidd kay shauq hai "Mohsin"
Khud apni jaan kay dushman say pyar karna hai
