hum jo pahunche sar-e-maqtal to ye manzar dekha
sab se uncha tha jo sar nok-e-sinan par dekha
hum se mat puchh ki kab chand ubharta hai yahan
hum ne suraj bhi tere shahr mein aa kar dekha
aise lipTe hain dar-o-baam se ab ke jaise
hadson ne baDi muddat mein mera ghar dekha
ab ye socha hai ki auron ka kaha manenge
apni aankhon pe bharosa to bahut kar dekha
ek ek pal mein utarta raha sadiyon ka azab
hijr ki raat guzari hai ki mahshar dekha
mujh se mat puchh meri tishna-labi ke tewar
ret chamki to ye samjho ki samundar dekha
dukh hi aisa tha ki 'mohsin' hua gum-sum warna
gham chhupa kar use hanste hue aksar dekha
Ghazal
Hum jo pahunche sar-e-maqtal to ye manzar dekha
Mohsin Naqvi
