lafzon ke ehtiyaat ne maani badal diye — Mohsin Bhopali

sadaa-e-vaqt ki gar baaz-gasht san paao
mire khayaal ko tum shaairaana kah denaa

hamaari jaan pe dohraa azaab hai 'mohsin'
ki dekhnaa hi nahin ham ko sochnaa bhi hai

iblaagh ke liye na tum akhbaar dekhnaa
ho justuju to kucha-o-baazaar dekhnaa

zindagi gul hai naghma hai mahtaab hai
zindagi ko faqat imtihaan mat samajh

kyaa khabar thi hamein ye zakhm bhi khaanaa hogaa
tu nahin hogaa tiri bazm mein aanaa hogaa

is liye suntaa huun 'mohsin' har fasaana ghaur se
ik haqiqat ke bhi ban jaate hain afsaane bahut

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

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

masala khatm huaa chaahtaa hai
dil bas ab zakhm nayaa chaahtaa hai

rone ke badle apni tabaahi pe hans diyaa
'shaakir' ne is tarah gila-e-aasmaan kiyaa

balliyon kudtaa uchhaltaa dil
aap ki ik nahin pe baiTh gayaa

imaarat dair o masjid ki bani hai iinT o patthar se
dil-e-viraana ki kis chiiz se taamir hoti hai
