Ye kaha gaye hain musaafir lute gharo.n waale

Ye kaha gaye hain musaafir lute gharo.n waale
Dare.n hawaa se parinde khule paro.n waale

Ye mere dil ki hawas dasht’e bekaraa.n jaisi
Wo teri aankh ke tewar samandor.n waale

Kaha.n milenge wo agle dino.n k shehzaade
Pehan k tan pe labaade gadaagaro.n wole

Pahaado.n me ghire ye bujhe bujhe raste
Kabhi idhar se guzarte the lashkaro.n waale

Unhi pe ho kabhi naazil’ azaab aag ajal
Wahi nagar kabhi thehre.n payambaro.n waale

Tire supurd karo.n aainiye muqaddaro.n ke
Idhar to aa mire khush rang pattharo.n waale

Kisi ko dekh k chup chup se kyu.n hue "Mohisin”
Kaha.n gaye wo iraade sukhanwaro.n waale
