Mohsin Naqvi-The Great Poet's Collection
Ankhain khuli rahain gi toh manzar bih ayengai
Zinda hai dil toh aur sitamgarr bhi ayengai
Pehchaan lo tamaam faqeeron kay khadd-o-khaal
Kuch log shab ko bhais badal kar bhi ayengai
Gehri khamosh jheel kay paani ko yun na chaidh
Cheenthay uday toh teri qaba par bhi ayengai
Khud ko chhupa na sheesha garon ki dukhaan mai
Sheeshay chamak rahey hain toh pathar bhi ayengai
Aye shehr yaar dasht say fursat nahi — magar!!
Niklay safar pay hum toh teray ghar bhi ayengai
*Mohsin* abhi saba ki sakhawat pay khush na ho
Jhonkay yehi basoorat-e-sarr sarr bhi ayengai…
==================================
Badla na teray bad b mozo-e-guftago”
“Tu ja chuka hai phir b meri mehfalon mein hai”
== ================================
Qatl kabhi chuptay thay sang kee deevaar ke beech
ab tou khulnay lagay maqtal bharay bazaar ke beech
==================================
Mein nay iss torr say chaha tujhy aksar jana
Jesay mahtab ko bay-ant sumandar chahay
Jesay soraj ki kiran seep k dil mein utray
Jesay khushbo ko hawa rang say hatt kar chahay
==================================
Qatal chuptay thay kabi sang ki deewar k bech
Ab to khulny lagy maqtal bhary bazar k beech
Apni poshak k chin jany pe afsoos na kar
Sar salamat nae rehty yahan dastar k bech
Surkhian aman ki talqeen mein masroof rahen
Haroof barod ugalty rahy akhbar k bech
Kash iss khuwab ki tabeer ki mohlat na mily
Sholy ugtay nazar aay mujhy gulzar k bech
dhalty soraj ki tamazat nay bikhar kar dekha
sar kasheeda mira saya saf-e-ashjar k bech
Rizq, malbos, makaN, sans, marz, qarz, dawa
Munqisem ho gya insaN inhe afkar k bech
Dekhy jaty na thy aanso mry jis say Mohsin
Aj hansty howy dekha usay aghyar k bech
=======================================
Iltimas-e-Dua From All of You with another great ghazal of Mohsin
KABI TU MOHEET-E-HAWAAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
MEIN TERY BAGHER UDAAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
MERI WUSATON KI HAWAS KA KHANA KHARAB HO
MERA GAON SHEHR K PAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
TERI DASTARAS MEIN THEN BAKH’SHESHEN, SO NAHE RAHEN
MRY LAB PE HARF-E-SPAAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
MRA AKS MUJH SAY ULAJH PARA TO GIRA KHULI
KABI MEIN B CHEHRA SHANAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
MRY BAD NOHA BA LAB HAWAYEN KAHA KAREN
WOH JO IK DAREEDA LIBAAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
MEIN SHIKASTA DIL HUN SAF-E-ADDO KI SHIKAST PER
WOH JO LATF-E-KHOF-O-HIRAAS THA, SO NAHE RAHA
