saare lahje tire be-zaman ek main
is bhare shahr men ra.egan ek main
vasl ke shahr ki raushni ek tu
hijr ke dasht men karvan ek main
bijliyon se bhari barishen zor par
apni basti men kachcha makan ek main
hasraton se aTe asman ke tale
jalti-bujhti hui kahkashan ek main
mujh ko farigh dinon ki amanat samajh
bhuli-bisri hui dastan ek main
raunaqen shor mele jhamele tire
apni tanha.i ka raz-dan ek main
ek main apni hi zindagi ka bharam
apni hi maut par nauha-ḳhvan ek main
us taraf sang-bari har ik baam se
is taraf a.inon ki dukan ek main
vo nahin hai to ‘mohsin’ ye mat sochna
ab bhaTakta phirunga kahan ek main
