Is KaDi Dhup Ke SannaTe Mein Hairan Hua

is kaDi dhup ke sannaTe mein hairan hua

ghar se jo bhi nikal aaya wo pasheman hua

hasraten KHak uDati hain har ek qarye mein

dil ki ek shahr-e-nigaran tha bayaban hua

muddaten guzrin to ek qatra guhar ban paya

sadiyan bitin to kahin aadmi insan hua

sar-e-sahil the to ye sail-e-bala kuchh bhi na tha

zad mein jab aae to andaza-e-tufan hua

hum sar-e-tur bhi pahunche magar ai husn-e-azal

tere milne ka na phir bhi koi imkan hua

sar jhukae hue kyun baiThe hain arbab-e-wafa

marhala kaun sa mushkil tha jo aasan hua

na dar-o-baam pe raunaq na jharokon mein bahaar

dil-e-viran ki tarah shahr bhi sunsan hua

tu bhi is gham-kada-e-dahr mein aa kar 'mohsin'

bu-e-gul ki tarah aawara-e-hairan hua
