vo aksar din mein bachchon ko sulaa deti hai is Dar se — Mohsin Naqvi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

tumhein jab ru-ba-ru dekhaa kareinge
ye sochaa hai bahut sochaa kareinge

mausam-e-zard mein ek dil ko bachaaun kaise
aisi rut mein to ghane peD bhi jhaD jaate hain

kaun si baat hai tum mein aisi
itne achchhe kyuun lagte ho

baDi umr ke baa'd in aankhon mein koi abr utraa tiri yaadon kaa
mire dil ki zamin aabaad hui mire gham kaa nagar shaadaab huaa

azal se qaaem hain donon apni zidon pe 'mohsin'
chalegaa paani magar kinaara nahin chalegaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

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