ab ke barish mein to ye kar-e-ziyan hona hi tha
ab ke bārish meñ to ye kār-e-ziyāñ honā hī thā
apnī kachchī bastiyoñ ko be-nishāñ honā hī thā
kis ke bas meñ thā havā kī vahshatoñ ko roknā
barg-e-gul ko ḳhaak sho.ale ko dhuāñ honā hī thā
jab koī samt-e-safar tai thī na hadd-e-rahguzar
ai mire rah-rau safar to rā.egāñ honā hī thā
mujh ko ruknā thā use jaanā thā agle moḌ tak
faisla ye us ke mere darmiyāñ honā hī thā
chāñd ko chalnā thā bahtī sīpiyoñ ke saath saath
mo.ajiza ye bhī tah-e-āb-e-ravāñ honā hī thā
maiñ na.e chehroñ pe kahtā thā na.ī ġhazleñ sadā
merī is aadat se us ko bad-gumāñ honā hī thā
shahr se bāhar kī vīrānī basānā thī mujhe
apnī tanhā.ī pe kuchh to mehrbāñ honā hī thā
apnī āñkheñ dafn karnā thiiñ ġhubār-e-ḳhāk meñ
ye sitam bhī ham pe zer-e-āsmāñ honā hī thā
be-sadā bastī kī rasmeñ thiiñ yahī 'mohsin' mire
maiñ zabāñ rakhtā thā mujh ko be-zabāñ honā hī thā
ab ke barish mein to ye kar-e-ziyan hona hi tha
apni kachchi bastiyon ko be-nishan hona hi tha
kis ke bas mein tha hawa ki wahshaton ko rokna
barg-e-gul ko KHak shoale ko dhuan hona hi tha
jab koi samt-e-safar tai thi na hadd-e-rahguzar
ai mere rah-rau safar to raegan hona hi tha
mujh ko rukna tha use jaana tha agle moD tak
faisla ye us ke mere darmiyan hona hi tha
chand ko chalna tha bahti sipiyon ke sath sath
moajiza ye bhi tah-e-ab-e-rawan hona hi tha
main nae chehron pe kahta tha nai ghazlen sada
meri is aadat se us ko bad-guman hona hi tha
shahr se bahar ki virani basana thi mujhe
apni tanhai pe kuchh to mehrban hona hi tha
apni aankhen dafn karna thin ghubar-e-KHak mein
ye sitam bhi hum pe zer-e-asman hona hi tha
be-sada basti ki rasmen thin yahi 'mohsin' mere
main zaban rakhta tha mujh ko be-zaban hona hi tha
