hawa-e-hijr mein jo kuchh tha ab ke khak hua
ki pairahan to gaya tha badan bhi chaak hua

ab us se tark-e-talluq karun to mar jaun
badan se ruh ka is darja ishtirak hua

yahi ki sab ki kamanen hamin pe tuti hain
chalo hisab-e-saf-e-dostan to pak hua

wo be-sabab yunhi rutha hai lamha-bhar ke liye
ye saneha na sahi phir bhi karb-nak hua

usi ke qurb ne taqsim kar diya aakhir
wo jis ka hijr mujhe wajh-e-inhimak hua

shadid war na dushman diler tha 'mohsin'
main apni be-khabari se magar halak hua
