Phoot'ti hain mastiyan uski adaaon se

ba'juzz apne lafzon k khazany khoolta kab tha
wo ankhain sochti kab thi
wo chehra bolta kab tha

usy khud ko ganwany ka
hunar bakhsha kis rutt ne
wo apna aks gehre paaniyon me ghoolta kab tha

main darta hon
ye fasl-e-hijr ki sazish na ho wrna
wo apne keemti anso hawa me roolta kab tha

yakeenan phoot'ti hain mastiyan
uski adaaon se
wagrna ro-ba-ro us k
zamana doolta kab tha

ghalat fehmi k saaye darmyan bichty gye Mohsin
main us k saamny hr baat pehle toolta kab tha
