khuli aankhon se sapna dekhne mein
ganwa di umr rasta dekhne mein

baha kar le gai ek mauj-e-dariya
bahut the mahw dariya dekhne mein

hawa kucha-ba-kucha ro rahi hai
saja hai qarya qarya dekhne mein

jo barten to khulen sab bhed us ke
hasin lagti hai duniya dekhne mein

darichon se ye dil-awez manzar
bure lagte hain tanha dekhne mein

nikal aata hai kadwa zaiqe mein
jo phal hota hai mitha dekhne mein

haqiqat mein wo aisa to nahin hai
nazar aata hai jaisa dekhne mein

azab-e-gumrahi mein mubtala hain
bhatak jate hain rasta dekhne mein

qaza aksar namazen ho gai hain
nishan-e-samt-e-qibla dekhne mein

hum ehram-e-hawas pahne hue hain
labaada hai ye ujla dekhne mein

wahin aksar shanawar dubte hain
jo hain payab dariya dekhne mein

yahi hai laghzish-e-binai 'mohsin'
ki ho mashghul duniya dekhne mein
