Ye dil ye pagal dil m’ra kyun bujh gaya awaargi
iss dasht mein ikk shahr tha,voh kya hua awaari

kal shab mujhe bey shakl ki awaz ne chaunka diya
main ne kaha tou kaun hai, uss ne kaha awaargi

logo bhala iss shahr mein kaise jiyen ge hum jahan
ho jurm tanha sochna, lekin saza awaargi

ye dard ki tanhaiyyan, ye dasht ka veeran safar
hum log tou ukta gaye, apni suna awaargi

ikk ajnabi jhonke ne jab pucha mere gham ka sabab
sehra ki bheegi ret per main ne likha awaargi

uss simt vehshi khwahishon ki zad mein paiman-e-wafa
iss simt lehron ki dhamak, kachcha ghaRa, awaargi

kal raat tanha chaand ko dekha tha main ne khwab mein
Mohsin mujhay raas aaye gi shaayed sad awaargi
