ye dil ye paagal dil meraa, kyuN bujh gayaa aavaargii
is dasht meN ek shahr thaa, vo kyaa hu’aa aavargii
kal shab mujhe be-shakl sii aavaaz ne chauNkaa diyaa
maiN ne kahaa tuu kaun hai, us ne kahaa aavargii
ek tuu ke sadiyoN se mere ham-raah bhii ham-raaz bhii
ek maiN ke tere naam se naa-aashnaa aavargii
ye dard kii tanhaa’iiyaaN, ye dasht kaa viiraaN safar
ham log to uktaa gaye apnii sunaa, aavargii
ek ajnabii jhoNke ne jab puuchhaa mere Gham kaa sabab
sehraa kii bhiiigii ret par maiN ne likhaa aavargii
logoN bhalaa us shah’r meN kaise jiyeNge ham jahaaN
ho jurm tanhaa sochnaa, lekin sazaa aavaargii
le ab to dasht-e-shab kii saariii vus’ateN sone lagiiN
ab jaagnaa hogaa hameN kab tak bataa aavargii
kal raat tanhaa chaaNd ko dekhaa thaa maiN ne Khvaab meN
“Mohsin” mujhe raas aayegii shaayad sadaa aavargii
Mohsin Naqvi
