lamha lamha pukaare jaate hain — Mohammad Daood Mohsin

kaun apnaa hai yahaan kaun paraayaa kahiye
kaun detaa hai bhalaa dukh mein sahaaraa kahiye

main chaahtaa huun tumhein apni zindagi ki tarah
mire vajud pe chhaa jaao chaandni ki tarah

har ek shaam sanvar jaaegi miri 'mohsin'
har ek baat tumhaari hai shaairi ki tarah

afsaana dard-o-gham kaa sunaayaa na jaaegaa
ab zakhm-e-dil kisi ko dikhaayaa na jaaegaa

itne fareb khaae hain qurbat mein yaar ki
'mohsin' fareb aur bhi khaayaa na jaaegaa

zindagi TuuT ke bikhri hai sar-e-raah abhi
haadisa kahiye ise yaa ki tamaashaa kahiye

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

rakhkhun kahaan main apne pari-zaad ko 'hasan'
shisha jo ek dil kaa mire hai so chuur hai

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai
