tamasha is baras aisa hua hai
samundar sukh kar sahra hua hai

hamein bheja to hai duniya mein lekin
hamare sath kuchh dhoka hua hai

mujhe lagta hai jadugar ne mujh ko
kisi zanjir se bandha hua hai

jahan par shadyane baj rahe hain
mera lashkar wahin paspa hua hai

jo mere aur us ke darmiyan thi
usi diwar par jhagda hua hai

asiran-e-qafas ye puchhte hain
muqiman-e-chaman ko kya hua hai

kai din se bas ek harf-e-mohabbat
sar-e-nok-e-zaban atka hua hai

guzargahon mein sannata hai 'mohsin'
ghubar-e-ham-rahan baitha hua hai
