Ek Haseen Shahkaar--- Shayer Mohsin Naqvi

zikr-e-shab-e-firaaq se vahashat use bhii thii 

merii tarah kisii se muhabbat use bhii thii

mujh ko bhii shauq thaa naye cheharon kii diid kaa

rastaa badal ke chalane kii aadat use bhii thii

us raat der tak vo rahaa mahv-e-guftaguu

masruuf main bhii kam thaa faraaGat use bhii thii

sunataa thaa vo bhii sab se puraanii kahaaniyaaN

taazaa rafaaqaton kii zaruurat use bhii thii

mujh se bichhaD ke shahar men ghul mil gayaa vo shaKhs

haalaaNke shahar bhar se raqabat use bhii thii

vo mujh se baDh ke zabt kaa aadii thaa jii gayaa

varnaa har ek saaNs qayaamat use bhii thii

hamaaraa kyaa hai ke ham to chiraaG-e-shab kii tarah 

agar jale bhii to bas itanii raushanii hogii 

ke jaise tund andheron kii raah men juganuu 

zaraa sii der ko chamake chamak ke kho jaaye 

phir is ke baad kisii ko na kuchh sujhaa_ii de 

na shab kaTe na suraaG-e-sahar dikhaa_ii de 

hamaaraa kyaa hai ke ham to pas-e-Gubaar-e-safar 

agar chale bhii to bas itanii raah tay hogii 

ke tez havaaon kii zard maa_il naqsh-e-qadam 

zaraa sii der ko ubhare ubhar ke mit jaaye 

phir us ke baad na raastaa na rah_guzar mile 

hadd-e-nigaah talak dasht-e-bekinar mile 

hamaarii simt na dekho ke ko_ii der men ham 

qabiilaa-e-dil-o-jaan judaa hone vaale hain 

base basaaye huye shahar apanii aaNkhon ke 

misal-e-khaanaa-e-viiraan ujaDane vaale hain 

havaa kaa shor ye hii hai to dekhate rahanaa 

hamaarii umar ke Khemen ukhaDane vaale hain

ret par likh ke meraa naam miTaayaa na karo 

aaNkhen sach bolatii hain pyaar chupaayaa na karo 

log har baat kaa afsaana banaa lete hain 

sab ko haalaat kii rudaad sunaayaa na karo 

ye zaruurii nahiin har shaKhs masiihaa hii ho 

pyaar ke zaKhm amaanat hain dikhaayaa na karo 

shahar-e-ehasaas men pattharaav bahut hain 'Mohsin'

dil ko shiishe ke jharonkhon men sajaayaa na karo

bichhaD ke mujh se kabhii tuu ne ye bhii sochaa hai

adhuuraa chaaNd bhii kitanaa udaas lagataa hai

ye vasl kaa lamhaa hai ise raayegaaN na samajh

ke is ke baad vahii duuriyon kaa saharaa hai

kuchh aur der na jhaDataa udaasiyon kaa shajar

kise Khabar tere saaye men kaun baiThaa hai

ye rakh-rakhaao muhabbat sikhaa ga_ii us ko

vo ruuTh kar bhii mujhe muskuraa ke milataa hai

main kis tarah tujhe dekhuuN nazar jhijhakatii hai

teraa badan hai ke ye aa_iinon kaa dariyaa hai

Dil ne tanha jhaili raat
Hijr ki raat, sahaili raat

Din waale kab boojh sake
Mushkil shaam pahaili raat

Ik safe ki tashreehein
Chand, chakor,chanbaili, raat

Din apne har dard ka dost
Is ki aik sahaili raat

Ik sunsaan nagar har saans 
Ik weeraan hawaili raat

Is ka roop har kie dhoop
Meri sard hathaili raat

Is ki aankh se chalke shaam
Us ki zulf se khaili raat

Mohsin ke anjaam ke naam
Hijr ki naii nawaili raat    

Jub zakh'm dehakne waale hon
Aur khushboo ke paigham millein
Aur apne dareeda daaman ke
Jub chaak sillein
Dil dukhta hai

Jub aankhein khud se khwaab bunnein
Khwaabon ma bisre chehron ki
Jub bheeR lagge
Us bheeR ma tum kho jaao
Dil dukhta hai

Jub hub's baRhe tanhaaii ka
Jub khwaab jalle
Jub aankh bujhe
Tum yaad aao
Dil dukhta hai

Chehry Parrta Ankhein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Mein Bhi Kaisi Batein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Sary Jism Darakhton Jaisy Lagty Hein
Or Banhoo Ko Shakhein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Tujh Ko Khat Likhny K Tevar Bhool Gaey
Aarhi Tirchhi Satrein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Tere Hijar Me Or Mujhy Kiya Karna He
Tere Naam Kitabein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Teri Zulf K Saey Dheyan Me Rehty Hein
Mein Subhoon Ko Shamein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Apny Peyar Ki Phool Mehakti Rahoon Me
Logon Ki Deewarin Likhta Rehta Hoon
Tujh Se Mil Kar Sary Dukh Dohraon Ga
Hijar Ki Sari Batein Likhta Rehta Hoon
Sokhy Phol Kitabein Zakhum Judai K
Teri Sab Soghatin Likhta Rehta Hoon
Os Ki Bheegi Palkein Hansti Rehti Hein
Mohsin Jab Tak Ghazlein Likhta Rehta Hoon

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

Maghror hi sahi magar acha bohat laga
Wo ajnabi to tha per apna laga
Rotha hua tha hans to para muj ko dekh kar
muj ko is qadar dilasa boht laga
Wo jis k dam qadam se theem basti ki ronakain
Basti ujar gai to akela bohat laga
Kohar main jaisay khazan ka chand
Mailay libas mai wo pyara bohat laga
Resham pehn k bhi mery qeemat barh na saki
Khaddar bhi us k jisam per mehnga bohat laga
Mohsin jab aainey pe meri sans jam gai
Mujh ko khud apna aks be dundhla bohat laga
