shahr ka shahr lutera hai nazar mein rakhiye
ab mata-e-gham-e-jaanan bhi na ghar mein rakhiye

kya khabar kaun se raste mein wo rahzan mil jae
apna saya bhi na ab sath safar mein rakhiye

ab kahin se na kharidar-e-wafa aaega
ab koi jins na bazar-e-hunar mein rakhiye

sar-e-diwar wo khurshid-ba-kaf aaya hai
ab charagh-e-dil-o-jaan rahguzar mein rakhiye

shoala-e-dard liye dil-zadagan nikle hain
ab koi aag nai barq-o-sharar mein rakhiye

chashma-e-chashm pe 'mohsin' wo nahane aaya
ab sada us ko isi dida-e-tar mein rakhiye
