bagh sara to bayaban na hua tha so hua
baaġh saarā to bayābāñ na huā thā so huā
jo ḳhizāñ kā kabhī ehsāñ na huā thā so huā
ham to bedār hue ḳhvāb se apne lekin
vo bhī ḳhvāboñ meñ pareshāñ na huā thā so huā
ham bhī kuchh soch ke kar baiThe bil-āḳhir shikva
vo bhī pahle to pashemāñ na huā thā so huā
mish.aleñ sar kī sajā.ī ga.iiñ tasht-e-zar meñ
kab se maqtal meñ charāġhāñ na huā thā so huā
safar-e-jāñ kī huī ab kahīñ jā kar takmīl
ya.anī maiñ be-sar-o-sāmāñ na huā thā so huā
dekhte dekhte aa pahuñchā saroñ tak paanī
ab tak andāza-e-tūfāñ na huā thā so huā
dosto maiñ jo ta.alluq thā vo baaqī na rahā
dushmanoñ meñ koī paimāñ na huā thā so huā
aur kyā mujh ko sila miltā ḳhulūs-e-dil kā
hadaf-e-tohmat-e-yārāñ na huā thā so huā
dasht meñ abr to barsā vo do ik buuñd sahī
pahle itnā bhī to imkāñ na huā thā so huā
'mohsin' achchhā hī huā us ne ulaT dī jo naqāb
rañg us kā jo numāyāñ na huā thā so huā
bagh sara to bayaban na hua tha so hua
jo KHizan ka kabhi ehsan na hua tha so hua
hum to bedar hue KHwab se apne lekin
wo bhi KHwabon mein pareshan na hua tha so hua
hum bhi kuchh soch ke kar baiThe bil-aKHir shikwa
wo bhi pahle to pasheman na hua tha so hua
mishalen sar ki sajai gain tasht-e-zar mein
kab se maqtal mein charaghan na hua tha so hua
safar-e-jaan ki hui ab kahin ja kar takmil
yani main be-sar-o-saman na hua tha so hua
dekhte dekhte aa pahuncha saron tak pani
ab tak andaza-e-tufan na hua tha so hua
dosto main jo talluq tha wo baqi na raha
dushmanon mein koi paiman na hua tha so hua
aur kya mujh ko sila milta KHulus-e-dil ka
hadaf-e-tohmat-e-yaran na hua tha so hua
dasht mein abr to barsa wo do ek bund sahi
pahle itna bhi to imkan na hua tha so hua
'mohsin' achchha hi hua us ne ulaT di jo naqab
rang us ka jo numayan na hua tha so hua
