ab ye sochun to bhanwar zehn mein paD jate hain
kaise chehre hain jo milte hi bichhaD jate hain
kyun tere dard ko den tohmat-e-virani-e-dil
zalzalon mein to bhare shahr ujaD jate hain
mausam-e-zard mein ek dil ko bachaun kaise
aisi rut mein to ghane peD bhi jhaD jate hain
ab koi kya mere qadmon ke nishan DhunDega
tez aandhi mein to KHeme bhi ukhaD jate hain
shaghl-e-arbab-e-hunar puchhte kya ho ki ye log
pattharon mein bhi kabhi aaine jaD jati hain
soch ka aaina dhundla ho to phir waqt ke sath
chand chehron ke KHad-o-KHal bigaD jate hain
shiddat-e-gham mein bhi zinda hun to hairat kaisi
kuchh diye tund hawaon se bhi laD jate hain
wo bhi kya log hain 'mohsin' jo wafa ki KHatir
KHud-tarashida usulon pe bhi aD jate hain
Ghazal
Ab ye sochun to bhanwar zehn mein paD jate hain
Mohsin Naqvi
