Ek falak’naaz ki mohabbat mein
main hawaaon ka hum-rakaab hua.
Adl-parwar kbhi hisaab toh kar
zulm kis kis pe be-hisaab hua.
Kiske sar par sinaa ko rashk aaya
kaun maqtal mein kaamyaab hua.
Ab ke hijraan ki dhoop mein ‘Mohsin
rang uska bhi kuchh kharaab hua
Mera us shaher-e-adawat main basera hay jahan
Loog sajdoon main bhi logon ka bura soochte hain
Jen par setum tamaam qafaas ki fizaa k the,
mujrim woh log apni shikast-e anaa ke the. !
Ae dasht-e khaar hum se hisaab-e karam na maang,
panv main aable the mugar ebtedaa kif the. !
Lab pe sajaa liye the yun hi ajnabi se naam,
dil mein tamaam zakhm kisi aashna ke the. !
Patton se bhar rahe the hawaaon ki jholiyaan,
gerte hoe shujar bhi sukhi intehaa ke the. !
Gahre samandaron mein kahan aks-e aasmaan,
paany main jitne rang the saare khalaa ke the. !
Ab dhool odhna bhi mayassar nahin jinhe,
waaris woh ahl-e dil kabhi arz-o samaa ke the. !
Jin se ulajh rahi thi hawaa’on ki shorishen,
Mohsin’ woh daayre toh mere naqsh-e paa ke the.
Yonhi ranjishon main guzar gai
Kabhi woh khafa, kabhi main khafa
Chahtoon ke mor per
Kabhi woh ruka, kabhi main ruka
Wohi raaste, wohi manzilain
Na usay khabar, na mujhay pata
Bus apni apni ana main gum
Kabhi wo juda, kabhi main juda.
Wus’at-e chashm-e tar bhi dekhenge,
hum tujhe bhool kar bhi dekhenge. !
Hijr ki shab se hausle apne,
bach gaye toh sahar bhi dekhenge. !
Raat hone do, log sone do
chaand ko dar-ba dar bhi dekhenge. !
Ek duaa dil se chhup ke maangi thi,
us duaa ka asar bhi dekhenge. !
Ek puraana safar toh khatm hua,
ek nayi rahguzar bhi dekhenge. !
Gin toh lene do be’kafan laashen,
be’sadaa baam-o dar bhi dekhenge. !
Chhed kar dil ki raakh ko ‘Mohsin
ab ke raqs-e sharaar bhi dekhenge.
Aankhain daikh ker aj tu tabeeb bhi tarap utha
Kiyon kerte ho itni mohabbat kiya zindagi achi nahi lagti
Ronaq-e rahguzar hai tanhaai,
phir meri humsafar hai tanhaai. !
Chaand kyon mand padta jata hai,
tu hai ya baam par hai tanhaai. !
Kya maseehaa’on ko talaash karen,
zakhm ki chaaragar hai tanhaai. !
Shaam-e ghum odh kar hi so jaao,
shaam-e ghum se udhar hai tanhaai. !
Kirchiyon se bhi aks chunti hai,
sangdil kis qadar hai tanhaai. !
Jinke mehmaan hon shab ke andeshe,
aise logon ka ghar hai tanhaai. !
Lamha bhar ko hai saath saans’on ka,
aur phir umar bhar hai tanhaai. !
Jaane kis ki talaash mein ‘Mohsin
aaj kal dar-ba dar hai tanhaai.
Woh jis ki yaad main hum pal pal jee rahay hain
Humain woh soochta bhi ho ye zaroori tu nahi
Jis ki qismat hi dar-ba dar thahre,
woh bujha chaand kis ke ghar thahre. !
Umar guzri sanwaarte dil ko,
kaash woh dil mein lamha bhar thahre. !
Usey kya poochhna safar ki thakan,
jis ki manzil hi rahguzar thahre. !
Uski qeemat, azaab sooraj ka
woh sitaara jo taa-sahar thahre. !
Uski aankhen udhar gayi hi nahin,
log kya kya na mod par thahre. !
Hum se kaisa hasad hawa-e safar,
hum toh gard-e raah-e safar thahre. !
Jhuk ke choome na kyon falak ‘Mohsin
jab sinaa par kisi ka sar thahre.
Us ki dard bhari aankhoon ne jis jaga kaha tha alwida
Aaj bhi waheen khara hay dil uske aane ke intizar main
Honge juda hum is tarah imkaan toh na tha,
ye dil kabhi bhi is tarah weeraan toh na tha. !
Jaise hua hai ab ke woh halaat se mere,
pahle kabhi woh is tarah anjaan toh na tha. !
Woh shehar se gaya hai toh raunaq bhi le gaya,
ye shehar is tarah kabhi sunsaan toh na tha. !
Ek Pyar ki jaageer ka maalik tha main kabhi,
pahle se yun hi be’sar-o saamaan toh na tha. !
Mohsin’ hum ne ishq mein paaya naffa bahut,
is kaarobaar mein koi nuqsaan toh na tha.
Ronaq-e rahguzar hai tanhaai,
phir meri humsafar hai tanhaai. !
Chaand kyon mand padta jata hai,
tu hai ya baam par hai tanhaai. !
Kya maseehaa’on ko talaash karen,
zakhm ki chaaragar hai tanhaai. !
Shaam-e ghum odh kar hi so jaao,
shaam-e ghum se udhar hai tanhaai. !

aise logon ka ghar hai tanhaai. !
Lamha bhar ko hai saath saans’on ka,
aur phir umar bhar hai tanhaai. !
Jaane kis ki talaash mein ‘Mohsin
aaj kal dar-ba dar hai tanhaai.
Woh jis ki yaad main hum pal pal jee rahay hain
Humain woh soochta bhi ho ye zaroori tu nahi
Jis ki qismat hi dar-ba dar thahre,
woh bujha chaand kis ke ghar thahre. !
