har ek shab yunhi dekhengi su-e-dar aankhen
har ek shab yūñhī dekheñgī sū-e-dar āñkheñ
tujhe gañvā ke na so.eñgī umr-bhar āñkheñ
tulū-e-sub.h se pahle hī bujh na jaa.eñ kahīñ
ye dasht-e-shab meñ sitāroñ kī ham-safar āñkheñ
sitam ye kam to nahīñ dil giraftagī ke liye
maiñ shahr bhar meñ akelā idhar-udhar āñkheñ
shumār us kī saḳhāvat kā kyā kareñ ki vo shaḳhs
charāġh bāñTtā phirtā hai chhīn kar āñkheñ
maiñ zaḳhm zaḳhm huā jab to mujh pe bhed khulā
ki pattharoñ ko samajhtī rahīñ guhar āñkheñ
maiñ apne ashk sañbhālūñgā kab talak 'mohsin'
zamāna sañg-ba-kaf hai to shīshagar āñkheñ
har ek shab yunhi dekhengi su-e-dar aankhen
tujhe ganwa ke na soengi umr-bhar aankhen
tulu-e-subh se pahle hi bujh na jaen kahin
ye dasht-e-shab mein sitaron ki ham-safar aankhen
sitam ye kam to nahin dil giraftagi ke liye
main shahr bhar mein akela idhar-udhar aankhen
shumar us ki saKHawat ka kya karen ki wo shaKHs
charagh banTta phirta hai chhin kar aankhen
main zaKHm zaKHm hua jab to mujh pe bhed khula
ki pattharon ko samajhti rahin guhar aankhen
main apne ashk sanbhaalunga kab talak 'mohsin'
zamana sang-ba-kaf hai to shishagar aankhen
