nigar-e-subh-e-darakhshan se lau lagae hue
hain apne dosh pe apni salib uthae hue

guzar rahe hain dabe panw waqt ki manind
faraaz-e-dar pe apni nazar jamae hue

sila mile na mile khun-e-dil chhidakte chalen
har ek khar hai dast-e-talab badhae hue

wo ab bhi saya-e-abr-e-rawan ko takte hain
jinhen zamana hua apna ghar jalae hue

chhalak saka na kabhi jam-e-chashm-e-tar 'mohsin'
agarche umr hui hum ko gungunae hue
