sarishk-e-khun sar-e-mizhgan kabhi piroe na the
hum itna hansne ke baad is tarah se roe na the

sitam ye hai ki wo khurshid katne aae
tamam umr sitare jinhon ne boe na the

ab aap apni tamannaon se hun sharminda
ye dagh wo hain jo main ne lahu se dhoe na the

bahe wo ashk ki gharqab ho gain aankhen
safine is tarah hum ne kabhi duboe na the

charagh lao koi aaftab hi dhunden
hum is qadar kabhi tarikiyon mein khoe na the

ek aah-e-sard ke baad aankhen mund lin 'mohsin'
ye kya hua kabhi thandi hawa mein soe na the
