Hum jo ponchay sar-e-maqtal to yeh manzir dekha

Hum jo ponchay sar-e-maqtal to yeh manzir dekha 

Sab se ooncha tha jo sar , nok-e-sina par dekha 

Hum se mat poocho keh kab chand ubharta hai yahan ?

Hum ne suraj bhi teray shaher main aa kar dekha 

Pyaas yaaron ko ab us mor pe le aayi hai 

Rait chamki to yeh samjhay keh samandar dekha 

Aisay liptay hain dar-o-baam se ab kay jaisay 

Haadson ne bari muddat main mera ghar dekha 

Zindagi bhar na hua khatam qayamat ka azaab 

Hum ne her saans main bar'pa naya mehshar dekha 

Itna be'hiss keh pighalta hi na tha baaton se 

Aadmi tha keh tarasha hua pathar dekha 

Dukh hi aisa tha keh roya tera "Mohsin" warna 

Gham chupa kar ussay hanstay huye aksar dekha
