Mil geya tha to usey khud se khafa rakhna tha

Mil geya tha to usey khud se khafa rakhna tha
dil ko kuch dair to masroof e dua rakhna tha


main na kehta tha k saanpon se attey hein raastey
ghar se nikley they to haathon mein aasa rakhna tha


baat jab tark e taaluq pe hi thehri thi to phir
dil mein ehsaas e gum e yaar b kia rakhna tha


daman e moj e hava yun to na khaali jata
ghar ki dehleez pe koi to dia rakhna tha


kya khabar us k taaqub mein hon kitni sochain ?
apna andaz to auron se juda rakhna tha


chandni bund kuvarron mein kahan utrey gi ?
ik dareecha to bharey ghar mein khula rakhna tha


uski khushbu se sajana tha jo dil ko Mohsin
uski sanson ka laqab moj e saba rakhna tha
