khwab ko surat-e-haalat bana jata hai
dil ko aana ho to be-waqt bhi aa jata hai

ho ke naraaz na jae koi mehman warna
ghar se wasf-e-dar-o-diwar chala jata hai

aankh se aankh milana to sukhan mat karna
tok dene se kahani ka maza jata hai

thik kahte ho ki aaseb-zada hota hai ishq
mere andar bhi koi shor macha jata hai

pyar aa jae to phir pyar hi kije warna
jis tarah aata hai us tarah chala jata hai

main to har faisla hi karta hun apne haq mein
par koi adl ki zanjir hila jata hai

umr-e-rafta mein tujhe yaad kahan karta hun
bas zara yun hi tera dhyan sa aa jata hai

koi pagal mujhe kahta hai to kya hai 'mohsin'
ek pagal ko to pagal hi kaha jata hai
