haqaeq ko bhulana chahte hain
koi rangin fasana chahte hain

badan par odh kar gard-e-masafat
gham-e-manzil chhupana chahte hain

gai shab ki rupahli saaton ko
nai dhaj se sajaana chahte hain

parindon ko na patthar se udao
musafir hain thikana chahte hain

kushada saeban sab ke liye ho
riayat sab uthana chahte hain

nasim-e-subh ho sarsar ho kuchh ho
ye paude lahlahana chahte hain

wo khud bhi to kabhi aae the 'mohsin'
jo mahfil se uthana chahte hain
