jitna tahzib-e-badan se main sanwarta jaun
utna hi tut ke andar se bikharta jaun

zindagi jaise calendar pe badalti tarikh
main shab-o-roz ke manind guzarta jaun

kya pata khwabon ki tabir mile ya na mile
kisi kaghaz pe unhen note hi karta jaun

sehn-e-gulshan se wo ek aakhiri rishta bhi gaya
khushk patton ki tarah ab to bikharta jaun

tah-e-zulmat in aaankhon ke diye jalte jaen
zina zina main ujalon mein utarta jaun

gard-e-daman ki tarah mujh ko udane wale
aks ban kar teri aaankhon mein thaharta jaun

kitne ghabrae hue hain mere qatil 'mohsin'
aastinon pe lahu ban ke ubharta jaun
