zikr-e-shab-e-firaaq se vahashat use bhii thii

Zikr-e-shab-e-firaq se vahashat use bhi thi  

meri tarah kisi se muhabbat use bhi thi  

Mujh ko bhi shauq tha naye cheharon ki deed ka 

rasta badal ke chalane ki aadat use bhi thi  

Us raat der tak vo raha mahv-e-guftagu masruf 

main bhi kam tha faragat use bhi thi  

Sunataa thaa vo bhi sb se purani kahaniyaan 

taaza rafaqaton ki zarurat use bhi thi 

Mujh se bichhar ke shahar main ghul mil gaya vo shakhs 

haalaN ke shahar bhar se adavat use bhi thi 

Vo mujh se barh ke zabt ka adi tha ji gaya varnaa 

har ek saans qayamat use bhi thi 

"Mohsin" main us se keh na saka yon b hal-e-dil

Dar paish ik taza museebat use bhi thi
