Gham-e-shikwa-e-haal tak na aya

Gham-e-shikwa-e-haal tak na aya

Is ka khyaal tak na aya

Aaqaaon ki mumlikat thi duniya

Suraj ko zawaal tak na aya

Toota hoon kuch is tarah achanak

Pehlay koi baal tak na aya

Kuch aisi thakan ki neend ayi

Khwaabon ka khyaal tak na aya

Youn khatam kiya fasana hum ne

Lehjay main malaal tak na aya

Jo lamha raigaan guzara wohi to kaam ka tha

Jo lamha raigaan guzara wohi to kaam ka tha

Behar nafas yeh ziyaan umar-e-na'tamaam ka tha

Yeh kiya hua keh bharray aasman kay aangan se

Bichar gaya jo sitaara hamaray naam ka tha

Barhaa kay us se raah-o-rasam ab yeh sochtay hain

Wohi bhout tha jo rishta dua salaam ka tha

Her aik kay bas main kahan tha keh so rahay sar-e-shaam

YEh kaam bhi tere awaar'gaan-e-shaam ka tha

Koi shajar koi dewaar chahata tha :Jamaal"

Safar main log thay , jhagra magar qayaam ka tha

Kabhi khud bhi mere paas aa

 Kabhi khud bhi mere paas aa

meri baat sun mera saath dy

Jo khalish hai dil se nikaalkar

Mujhay uljhano se nijaat dy

Tujhay sochna mera mashgala

Tujhay dekhna meri aarzoo

Mujhay din dy apnay khyal kay

Mujhay apnay qurb ki raat dy

Meri zindagi mere saath chal

Mere haathon main apna haath dy

MAin bhout dino se udaas hoon

Mujhay koi shaam udhaar dy 

Dareechay se jhaankti woh larki ajeeb dukh se bharri hua hai

Dareechay se jhaankti woh larki ajeeb dukh se bharri hua hai

Keh is kay aangan main phool par aik titli mari hui hai

Kabhi azaano main khoi khoi , kabhi nimaazon main roi roi

Woh aisay duniya ko dekhti hai keh jaisay is se dari hui hai

Dard se mehki mehki saansain , wazeefa parhti hui woh aankhain

Keh woh shamma-e-umeed in main kai baras se dharri hui hai

Woh dukh ki chadar main lipti lipti , woh kaalay kapron main simti simti

Mohabbat us ne kisi se shayed meri tarah hi kari hui hai

Baray zamano kay baad barsi hain meri aankhain kisi ki khatar

Baray zamano kay baad dil ki zameen phir se hari hui hai

Logon ne hunar apna dikhaya bhi bhout hai

Logon ne hunar apna dikhaya bhi bhout hai 

Ja ja kay main ne is ko mitaya bhi bhout hai 

Sach poocho to pyara bhi bhout lagta hai dil ko 

Woh shakhs jis ne , dil ko dukhaya bhi bhout hai 

Youn khatam kiya fasana hum ne

Gham-e-shikwa-e-haal tak naaya 

Is ka khyaal tak na aya 

Aaqaaon ki mumlikat thi duniya 

Suraj ko zawaal tak na aya 

Toota hoon kuch is tarah achanak 

Pehlay koi baal tak na aya 

Kuch aisi thakan ki neend ayi

Fikar-e-farda

Fikar-e-farda 

Aaj ka din keh khatam nahin ho paata abhi 

Agalay din ki fikar hamain lag jaati hai 

Phir hum yeh foran teh karnay lagtay hain 

Kon kon se kaam hamain kal karna hain 

Kis se kiya kuch lena hai ,,, aur

Kis ko kiya kuch dena hai 

Kis se milnay jaana hai ... aur

Kis ko paas bulaan ahai 

Kis se qatah taaluq karna hai 

Kis se ehad nibhaana hai 

Kis se dhoka khaana hai 

Is kay ilawaa aur kon se kaam hamain nimtaana hain 

Yak dam zehan main phir ik aisi soch bhi karwat leti hai 

Kal jab ho gi

Kal ka suraj 

APnay saath main janay kiya 

Sandesa laye 

YA khushiyon ki dhoop bikharay 

Ya chehron ka rang jalaye 

Ankhon ankhon neer bahaye 

Dukh ka dariya aaray aye 

Ho sakta hai kaam hamara 

Us ka run sab ruk jaye 

Phir yeh khud se keh kar hum ne 

Chor diya , keh jo bhi ha ga 

Apni is qismat main likha 

Woh hi ho ga 

Aaj ka din keh khatam nahin ho paata abhi

Fikar-e-farda

Us ki yaadon ko ghaneemat jaano

Is taaluq ko to kam kiya rakhna

Hans bhi lena kabhi khud par mohsin

Her gharri aankh ko nam kiya rakhna

Khandar aankhon main gham abaad karna

Khandar aankhon main gham abaad karna

KAbhi fursat mile to yaad karna

Aziyat ki hawas bujhnay lagi hai

Koi taza sitam ijaad karna

Kai sadiyaan pighalnay ka aalam hai

Badan se rooh ko azaad karna

Abhi kaisi paristish bijliyon ki

Abhi ghar kis liye barbaad karna

Tumhara jhoot sach se mohtabar hai

Mere haq main bhi kuch irshaad karna

Ajab hai dhoop chaaon hijraton ki

KAbhi hansana kabhi fariyaad karna

Jahanum jhailnay se bhi , kathan hai

Anaa ko khoogar-e-be'daar karna

Kabhi pathar se sar takraa kay Mohsin

Adaa qarz sar-e-farhaad karna

Tum ne khud ko chalo sajayaa to

Tum ne khud ko chalo sajayaa to

Aaina aaj muskuraya to

Ishq kar loon ga dushmano se main

Woh agar ho ajye paraya to

Soch kar dil ko torna mere

Yeh diya bujh kay jal na paya to

Dhoop kamron se rooth jaye gi

Par aangan main gar lagaya to

Meri aankhain thein khushk muddaton se

Aashique ne chalo rulaya to

Lut'tay kahan keh saahib-e-jageer hum na thay

Lut'tay kahan keh saahib-e-jageer hum na thay

Noor jahan na thi woh , jahangeer hum na thay

Apni dua se maand na parta kisi ka husan

Itnay baray yo saahib-e-taseer hum n athay

Milta raha woh khwaab main kitnay khaloos se

Aankhain khuli ti khwaab ki tabeer hum na thay

Hum ko na dy pyaam-e-rehaai hawa-e-subha

Wajah-e-khroosh-e-khana zanjeer hum na thay

Her dsour-e-be'sada main ik zulm kay khilaaf

Hum ko hi bhoolna tha keh tasveer hum hi thay

 Sab ehal-e-shaher phir dar-e-dushman pe jhuk gaye

Mohsin khula keh shaher ki taqdeer hum na thay

Tujhay udaas bhi karna tha khud bhi rona tha

Yeh haadsa bhi meri jaan kabhi hona tha

Namu ka ranj na abar guraiz'paa se malaal

Keh mujh ko baanjh zameeno main beej bona tha

Yeh kiya keh gard-e-raah-e-raftagaan ko orh liya

Kafan ka daagh badan kay lahoo se dhona tha

Jo daastaan ussay kehna thi phir na guftagoo rahi

Keh main bhi tahk sa gaya tha , ussay bhi sona tha

Main takht-e-abar par soya tha raat bhar Mohsin

Khuli jo aankh to sehra mera bichoona tha

Hamaray baad chali rasm-e-dosti keh nahin

Hamaray baad chali rasm-e-dosti keh nahin

Hawa ki zad main koi shamma phir jali keh nahin

Bichar kay jab bhi mile mujh se , poochta hai woh shakhs

Keh in dino koi taza ghazal huyi keh nahin

Suna hai aam thi kal shab ko chaand ki bakhshish

Bujhay gharon main bhi urti hai chaandni keh nahin

Nikal kay jissay hawa apna dard awara

Kisi kay dil main woh mehfil bhi phir saji keh nahin

Woh raah guzar jo andheron main saans leti thi

Tumharay naqsh-e-qadam se chamak uthi keh nahin

Diyaar-e-hijar se aye ho kuch kaho "Mohsin"

Keh shaam-e-gham bhi kisi mor par mili keh nahin  

Rootha to shaher-e-khwaab ko ghaarat bhi kar gaya

Rootha to shaher-e-khwaab ko ghaarat bhi kar gaya

Phir muskura kar taza shararat bhi kar gaya

Shayed ussay aziz thein aankhain meri bhout

Woh mere naam apni basaarat bhi kar gaya

Munh'zor aandiyon ki hathaili pe ek chragh

Paida mere lahoo main haraarat bhi kar gaya

Boseeda baad'baan ka tukra , hawa kay saath

Toofaan main kashtiyon ki sifaarat bhi kar gaya

Dil ka nagar ujaarnay wala hunar shanaas

Tameer hoslon ki imaarat bhi kar gaya

Sab ehal-e-shaher jis par utha'tay thay ungliyaan

Woh shaher bhar ko wajah-e-ziarat bhi dy gaya

Mohsin yeh dil keh us sy bicharta na tha kabhi

Aaj us ko bhoolnay ki jurrat bhi kar gaya

Kahan yeh bas main keh hum khud ko hosla detay

Kahan yeh bas  main keh hum khud ko hosla detay

Yahi bhout tha keh her gham pe muskuraa detay

Hawa ki dor ulajhti jo ungliyon se kabhi

Hum asmaan pe tera naam tak saja detay

Hamaray aks main hoti jo zakham-e-dil ki jhalak

Hum aainay ko bhi apni tarah rulaa detay

Hamain bhi roshniyon par jo dastaras hoti

Kabhi chragh jalaatay kabhi bujha detay

Hamaray paaon hawaon ki zad main thay warna

Guzarti umar ko ruk ruk kar sadaa detay

Ab us ki yaad se us ka badan traashtay hain

Woh khwaab bhi to nahin tha keh hum bhula detay

Ussi kay wastay Mohsin kahay hai taza ghazal

Hum us ki saal'girah par ab aur kiya detay

Ana pe chot paray bhi to kon dekhta hai

Ana pe chot paray bhi to kon dekhta hai

Dhuwaan sa dil se uthay bhi to kon dekhta hai

Mere liye kabhi matti pe sardiyon ki hawa

Tumhara naam likhay bhi to kon dekhta hai

Ujaar ghar kay kisi be'sadaa dareechay main

Koi chragh jalay bhi to kon dekhta hai

Hajoom-e-shaher se hat kar , hadood-e-shaher kay baad

Woh muskuraa kar milay bhi to kon dekhta hai

Jis aankh main koi chehra na koi aks-e-talab

Woh aankh jal kay bujhay bhi to kon dekhta hai

Mile baghair jo mujh se bichar gaya "Mohsin"

Woh raastay main rukay bhi to kon dekhta hai

Aankhon main koi khwaab utarnay nahin deta

Aankhon main koi khwaab utarnay nahin deta 

Yeh dil keh mujhay chain se marnay nahin deta 

Bichray to ajab pyaar jataata hai khatton main 

Mil jaye to phir had se guzarnay nahin deta 

Woh shakhs khizaan rutt main bho mohtaat hai kitna 

Sookhay huye phoolon ko bikharnay nahin deta 

Ek roz teri pyaas khareeday ga woh ghabru

Paani tujhay panghat se jo bharnay nahin deta 

Woh dil main tabasum ki kiran gholnay wala 

Roothay to rutton ko bhi sanwarnay nahin deta 

Main us ko manaaon keh gham-e-dehar se uljhon 

Mohsin woh koi kaam bhi mujhay karnay nahin deta

Mohsin woh koi kaam bhi mujhay karnay nahin deta

Aankhon main koi khwaab utarnay nahin deta 

YEh dil keh mujhay chain se marnay nahin deta 

Bichray to ajab pyaar jataata hai khatton main 

Mil jaye to phir had se guzarnay nahin deta 

Woh shakhs khizaan rutt main bho mohtaat hai kitna

Roothay to rutton ko bhi sanwarnay nahin deta 

Main us ko manaaon keh gham-e-dehar se uljhon 

Mohsin woh koi kaam bhi mujhay karnay nahin deta

Hijar ki shaam dihaan main rakhna

Us ko bhi imtihaan main rakhna 

Itni ruswaaiyaan bhi kiya mohsin 

Kuch bharam to jahan main rakhna

KAhan woh rut ki jabeeno pe aftaab utray 

Zamaana beet gaya us ki aab-o-taab utray 

MAin ussay khul kay milon , soch ka hijaab utray 

Woh chahta hai meri rooh ka naqsh utray 

Udaas shab main , kari dopehar kay lamhon main 

Koi chraagh , koi surat-e-gulaab utray 

KAbhi kabhi tere lehjay ki shabnami thandak 

Smaa'ton kay dareechon pe khwaab khwaab utray 

Faseel-e-shaher-e-tamana ki sard baailon par

Tera jamaal kabhi surat-e-shabaab utray 

Teri hansi main naye mousamon ki khushboo thi 

Naveed ho keh badan pe puraanay khwaab utray 

Sapurdagi ka mojassam sawaal ban kar khailon 

Misaal-e-qatra-e-shabnam tera jawaab utray 

Teri tarah meri aankhain bhi mohtabar na rahein 

Safar se qabal hi raaston main woh saraab utray
