ye mere dil ki havas dasht-e-be-karaan jaisi — Mohsin Naqvi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

tumhein jab ru-ba-ru dekhaa kareinge
ye sochaa hai bahut sochaa kareinge

mausam-e-zard mein ek dil ko bachaaun kaise
aisi rut mein to ghane peD bhi jhaD jaate hain

kaun si baat hai tum mein aisi
itne achchhe kyuun lagte ho

baDi umr ke baa'd in aankhon mein koi abr utraa tiri yaadon kaa
mire dil ki zamin aabaad hui mire gham kaa nagar shaadaab huaa

azal se qaaem hain donon apni zidon pe 'mohsin'
chalegaa paani magar kinaara nahin chalegaa

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

ai shauq pataa kuchh tu hi bataa ab tak ye karishma kuchh na khulaa
ham mein hai dil-e-betaab nihaan yaa aap dil-e-betaab hain ham

dil ki haalat agar nahin badli
ehtiyaat-e-nazar se kyaa hogaa

dil to rotaa rahe aur aankh se aansu na bahe
ishq ki aisi rivaayaat ne dil toD diyaa

ai hasrat-e-dil go vasl huaa par shauq hamaaraa kam na huaa
jis se ki khalish kuchh aur baDhe vo zakhm huaa marham na huaa
