hamaari jaan pe dohraa azaab hai 'mohsin' — Mohsin Bhopali

sadaa-e-vaqt ki gar baaz-gasht san paao
mire khayaal ko tum shaairaana kah denaa

iblaagh ke liye na tum akhbaar dekhnaa
ho justuju to kucha-o-baazaar dekhnaa

zindagi gul hai naghma hai mahtaab hai
zindagi ko faqat imtihaan mat samajh

kyaa khabar thi hamein ye zakhm bhi khaanaa hogaa
tu nahin hogaa tiri bazm mein aanaa hogaa

kis qadar naadim huaa huun main buraa kah kar use
kyaa khabar thi jaate jaate vo duaa de jaaegaa

is liye suntaa huun 'mohsin' har fasaana ghaur se
ik haqiqat ke bhi ban jaate hain afsaane bahut

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

tere bin hayaat ki soch bhi gunaah thi
ham qarib-e-jaan tiraa hisaar dekhte rahe

qulzum-e-fikr mein hai kashti-e-imaan saalim
naa-khudaa husn hai aur ishq hai langar apnaa
