ye dil ye pagal dil mera kyon bujha gaya awaragi

ye dil ye pagal dil mera kyon bujha gaya awaragi
is dasht main ik shahar tha wo kya hua awaragi

kal shab mujhe be-shakl si awaz ne chaunka diya
main ne kaha tu kaun hai us ne kaha awaragi

ik tu ki sadiyon se mere hamrah bhi hamraz bhi
ik main k tere nam se nashna awaragi

ye dard ki tanhaiyan ye dasht ka wiran safar
ham log to ukta gaye apni suna awaragi

ik ajnabi jhonke ne jab pucha mere gam ka sabab
sahara k bhigi ret par main ne likha awaragi

le ab to dasht-e-shab ki sari wusaten sone lagin
ab jagna hoga hamain kab tak bata awaragi

kal rat tanha chand ko dekha tha main ne khwab main
'Mohsin' mujhe ras ayegi shayad sada awaragi
