Tamam shab yunhi dekhaingi 

soo e dar ankhain

tujhe ganva k na soyen gi umr 

bhar ankhain

tulo e subah se pehley hi bujh 

na jayen kahin !

yeh dasht e shab mein sitaron 

ki humsafar ankhain

sitam yeh kam to nahi dil 

giraftagi k liye !

main shehar bhar mein akaila,

 idher udher ankhain

shumar uski sakhafat ka kia 

karain k vo shakhs

chiraag baant'ta phirta hai 

cheen kar ankhain

voh paas tha to zamaney ko 

dekhti hi na thein

bicher geya to hoyeen phir se 

darbadar ankhain

abi kahan tuje pehchan'ney 

ki zid kijey

abi to khud se b thehri hain 

beykhaber ankhain

main apney ashak bacha 

luunga kis tarha Mohsin ?

zamana sang bakaf hai to 

sheeshagar ankhain..
