lafz to hon lab-e-izhaar na rahne pae
ab samaat pe koi bar na rahne pae

kis tarah ke hain makin jin ki tag-o-dau hai yahi
dar to baqi rahen diwar na rahne pae

is mein bhi pahlu-e-taskin nikal aata hai
ek hi surat-e-azar na rahne pae

zehn-ta-zehn mahakta hi rahe zakhm-e-hunar
fasl-e-harf o lab-e-izhaar na rahne pae

ab ke mausam mein ye meyar-e-junun thahra hai
sar salamat rahen dastar na rahne pae

koi darman ki hawa chikh rahi hai 'mohsin'
nakhl-e-hasti pe koi bar na rahne pae
