masnadein takht-o-taaj dastaarein — 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
