itni muddat baad mile ho
kin sochon mein gum phirte ho

itne khaif kyun rahte ho
har aahat se dar jate ho

tez hawa ne mujh se puchha
ret pe kya likhte rahte ho

kash koi hum se bhi puchhe
raat gae tak kyun jage ho

mein dariya se bhi darta hun
tum dariya se bhi gahre ho

kaun si baat hai tum mein aisi
itne achchhe kyun lagte ho

pichhe mud kar kyun dekha tha
patthar ban kar kya takte ho

jao jit ka jashn manao
mein jhuta hun tum sachche ho

apne shahar ke sab logon se
meri khatir kyun uljhe ho

kahne ko rahte ho dil mein
phir bhi kitne dur khade ho

raat hamein kuchh yaad nahin tha
raat bahut hi yaad aae ho

hum se na puchho hijr ke qisse
apni kaho ab tum kaise ho

'mohsin' tum badnam bahut ho
jaise ho phir bhi achchhe ho
