waise to ham-safar hain sabhi raston mein log
vaise to ham-safar haiñ sabhī rāstoñ meñ log
lekin bañTe hue haiñ ka.ī qāfiloñ meñ log
chehra agarche apnā nahīñ dūsre kā hai
ḳhush phir bhī 'aks dekh ke haiñ ā.inoñ meñ log
achchhā hai duur abhī jo haqā.eq nazar se haiñ
jī leñge thoḌī der yūñhī āsroñ meñ log
shab ko diye jalānā bujhā denā sub.h ko
masrūf rāt-din haiñ inhīñ mashġhaloñ meñ log
sab jānte haiñ kaun hai qātil zamāne meñ
laate haiñ aisī baat kahīñ tazkaroñ meñ log
ye rāh-e-haq ye jāda-e-'irfān-o-āgahī
maare ga.e haiñ jaañ se inhīñ rāstoñ meñ log
'mohsin' ye dasht-e-jāñ kā safar sair-e-gul nahīñ
chal to paḌe haiñ ghar se baḌe valvaloñ meñ log
waise to ham-safar hain sabhi raston mein log
lekin banTe hue hain kai qafilon mein log
chehra agarche apna nahin dusre ka hai
KHush phir bhi 'aks dekh ke hain aainon mein log
achchha hai dur abhi jo haqaeq nazar se hain
ji lenge thoDi der yunhi aasron mein log
shab ko diye jalana bujha dena subh ko
masruf raat-din hain inhin mashghalon mein log
sab jaante hain kaun hai qatil zamane mein
late hain aisi baat kahin tazkaron mein log
ye rah-e-haq ye jada-e-'irfan-o-agahi
mare gae hain jaan se inhin raston mein log
'mohsin' ye dasht-e-jaan ka safar sair-e-gul nahin
chal to paDe hain ghar se baDe walwalon mein log
