mar hi dal mujhe chasm-e-ada se pahle
apni manzil ko pahunch jaun qaza se pahle

ik nazar dekh lun a jao qaza se pahle
tum se milne ki tamanna hai Khuda se pahle

hashr k roz main puchunga Khuda se pahle
tu ne roka nahin kyun mujhko khata se pahle

ai meri maut thahar unko zara ane de
zahar ka jam na de mujhko dawa se pahle

hath pahunche bhi na the zulf dota tak “Momin”
hathkari dal di zalim ne khata se pahle

zikr-e-shab-e-firaq se wahashat use bhi thi
meri tarah kisi se muhabbat use bhi thi

mujh ko bhi shauq tha naye chehron ki did ka
rasta badal k chalne ki adat use bhi thi

us rat der tak wo raha mahw-e-guftagu
masruf main bhi kam tha faragat use bhi thi

sunata tha wo bhi sab se purani kahaniyan
taza rafaqaton ki zarurat use bhi thi

mujh se bichar k shahar main ghul mil gaya wo shakhs
halanke shahar bhar se raqabat use bhi thi

wo mujh se barh k zabt ka adi tha ji gaya
warna har ek sans qayamat use bhi thi

ye dil ye pagal dil mera kyon bujha gaya awaragi
is dasht main ik shahar tha wo kya hua awaragi

kal shab mujhe be-shakl si awaz ne chaunka diya
main ne kaha tu kaun hai us ne kaha awaragi

ik tu ki sadiyon se mere hamrah bhi hamraz bhi
ik main k tere nam se nashna awaragi

ye dard ki tanhaiyan ye dasht ka wiran safar
ham log to ukta gaye apni suna awaragi

ik ajnabi jhonke ne jab pucha mere gam ka sabab
sahara k bhigi ret par main ne likha awaragi

le ab to dasht-e-shab ki sari wusaten sone lagin
ab jagna hoga hamain kab tak bata awaragi

kal rat tanha chand ko dekha tha main ne khwab main
‘Mohsin’ mujhe ras ayegi shayad sada awaragi

thahar jao k hairani to jaye
tumhari shakl pahchani to jaye

shab-e-gam tu hi mahman ban k aja
hamare ghar ki wirani to jaye

zara khul kar bhi ro lene do ham ko
k dil ki ag tak pani ho jaye

bala se tor dalo ainon ko
kisi surat ye hairani to jaye

ret par likh k mera nam mitaya na karo
ankhen sach bolti hain pyar chupaya na karo

log har bat ka afsana bana lete hain
sab ko halat ki rudad sunaya na karo

ye zaruri nahin har shakhs masiha hi ho
pyar k zaKhm amanat hain dikhaya na karo

shahar-e-ehsas main patthar bahut hain ‘Mohsin’
dil ko shishe ke jharonkhon main sajaya na karo

jab se us ne shahar ko chora har rasta sunsan hua
apna kya hai sare shahar ka ik jaisa nuksan hua

mere hal pe hairat kaisi dard k tanha mausam main
pathar bhi ro parte hain insan to phir insan hua

us k zakhm chupa kar rakhiye khud us shakhs ki nazron se
us se kaisa shikawa kije wo to abhi nadan hua

yun bhi kam amez tha “Mohsin” wo is shahar k logon main
lekin mere samne akar aur hi kuch anjam hua

bichar k mujh se kabhi tu ne ye bhi socha hai
adhura chand bhi kitna udas lagta hai

ye wasl ka lamha hai ise rayegan na samajh
k is k bad wahi duriyon ka sahara hai

kuch aur der na jharta udasiyon ka shajar
kise khabar tere saye main kaun baitha hai

ye rakh-rakhao muhabbat sikha gai us ko
wo ruth kar bhi mujhe muskura k milta hai

main kis tarah tujhe dekhun nazar jhijhakti hai
tera badan hai k ye ainon ka dariya hai

abhi kya kahen abhi kya sunayen
ke sar-e-fasil-e-sukut-e-jan
kuf-e-roz-o-shab pe sharar numa
wo jo harf jarf charag tha
use kis hawa ne bujha diya

kabhi lab hilenge to puchna

sar-e-sahar-e-ahad-e-wisal-e-dil
wo jo nikahaton ka hujum tha
use dast-e-mauj-e-firaq ne
tah-e-khak kab se mila diya

kabhi gul khilenge to puchna

abhi kya kahen abhi kya sunayen
yun hi khwahishon k fishar main
kabhi be-sabab kabhi bekhalal
kahan kaun kis se bichar gaya
kise kis ne kaise ganwa diya

kabhi phir milenge to puchna
