main chaahtaa huun tumhein apni zindagi ki tarah — Mohammad Daood Mohsin

kaun apnaa hai yahaan kaun paraayaa kahiye
kaun detaa hai bhalaa dukh mein sahaaraa kahiye

har ek shaam sanvar jaaegi miri 'mohsin'
har ek baat tumhaari hai shaairi ki tarah

afsaana dard-o-gham kaa sunaayaa na jaaegaa
ab zakhm-e-dil kisi ko dikhaayaa na jaaegaa

itne fareb khaae hain qurbat mein yaar ki
'mohsin' fareb aur bhi khaayaa na jaaegaa

nahin hai paas kisi kaa kisi ko ai 'mohsin'
ki aazmaa ki unhein baar baar dekhaa hai

zindagi TuuT ke bikhri hai sar-e-raah abhi
haadisa kahiye ise yaa ki tamaashaa kahiye

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa
