lawen charagh-e-wafa ki badha ke dekhte hain
hum apna zarf-e-nazar aazma ke dekhte hain

phir apne dil ko kisi gham mein mubtala jaano
wo bar bar idhar muskura ke dekhte hain

wo log jin ko shuur-e-nigah hasil hai
wo apne aap mein jalwe khuda ke dekhte hain

zarur us ke dariche se ho ke aai hai
jo badle badle se tewar saba ke dekhte hain

suna hai us ki hansi mein hai zindagi 'mohsin'
to aao us ko zara sa hansa ke dekhte hain
