Ta-der Hum Ba-dida-e-tar Dekhte Rahe

ta-der hum ba-dida-e-tar dekhte rahe

yaaden thin jis mein dafn wo ghar dekhte rahe

kya kya na e'tibar diya ek sarab ne

har-chand tishna-lab the magar dekhte rahe

suraj chaDha to phir bhi wahi log zad mein the

shab bhar jo intizar-e-sahar dekhte rahe

sehn-e-chaman ko apne lahu se sanwar kar

dast-e-hawas mein hum gul-e-tar dekhte rahe

ye dil hi jaanta hai ki kis hausle ke sath

naqadri-e-mata-e-hunar dekhte rahe

'mohsin' uruj-e-kam-nazaran saneha nahin

ye saneha hai ahl-e-nazar dekhte rahe
