KHwab ko surat-e-haalat bana jata hai

ḳhvāb ko sūrat-e-hālāt banā jaatā hai

dil ko aanā ho to be-vaqt bhī aa jaatā hai

ho ke nārāz na jaa.e koī mehmāñ varna

ghar se vasf-e-dar-o-dīvār chalā jaatā hai

aañkh se aañkh milānā to suḳhan mat karnā

Tok dene se kahānī kā mazā jaatā hai

Thiik kahte ho ki āseb-zada hotā hai ishq

mere andar bhī koī shor machā jaatā hai

pyaar aa jaa.e to phir pyaar hī kiije varna

jis tarah aatā hai us tarah chalā jaatā hai

maiñ to har faisla hī kartā huuñ apne haq meñ

par koī adl kī zanjīr hilā jaatā hai

umr-e-rafta meñ tujhe yaad kahāñ kartā huuñ

bas zarā yuuñ hī tirā dhyān sā aa jaatā hai

koī pāgal mujhe kahtā hai to kyā hai 'mohsin'

ek pāgal ko to pāgal hī kahā jaatā hai

KHwab ko surat-e-haalat bana jata hai

dil ko aana ho to be-waqt bhi aa jata hai

ho ke naraaz na jae koi mehman warna

ghar se wasf-e-dar-o-diwar chala jata hai

aankh se aankh milana to suKHan mat karna

Tok dene se kahani ka maza jata hai

Thik kahte ho ki aaseb-zada hota hai ishq

mere andar bhi koi shor macha jata hai

pyar aa jae to phir pyar hi kije warna

jis tarah aata hai us tarah chala jata hai

main to har faisla hi karta hun apne haq mein

par koi adl ki zanjir hila jata hai

umr-e-rafta mein tujhe yaad kahan karta hun

bas zara yun hi tera dhyan sa aa jata hai

koi pagal mujhe kahta hai to kya hai 'mohsin'

ek pagal ko to pagal hi kaha jata hai
