jam-e-tahi qubul na tha gham samo liye

jām-e-tahī qubūl na thā ġham samo liye

phūloñ ke intizār meñ kāñTe chubho liye

mahrūmī-e-davām bhī kyā lutf de ga.ī

ye soch kar hañse haiñ ki ik umr ro liye

ham haiñ vo sāda-lauh ki pā kar razā-e-dost

ḳhud apne haath apne hī ḳhuuñ meñ Dubo liye

jis samt se bhī bāñg-e-jaras aa.ī dasht meñ

dīvāñgān-e-shauq usī samt ho liye

pichhlā pahar hai shab kā ki hai shaam kā samāñ

vo kyā batā sakeñge jo ik niiñd so liye

kyā jabr hai subūt-e-vafā pesh kījiye

aur un kā naam aa.e to phir lab na kholiye

'mohsin' zabān dījiye bazm-e-ḳhamosh ko

mohmal hai aaj lafz-e-suḳhan kuchh to boliye

jam-e-tahi qubul na tha gham samo liye

phulon ke intizar mein kanTe chubho liye

mahrumi-e-dawam bhi kya lutf de gai

ye soch kar hanse hain ki ek umr ro liye

hum hain wo sada-lauh ki pa kar raza-e-dost

KHud apne hath apne hi KHun mein Dubo liye

jis samt se bhi bang-e-jaras aai dasht mein

diwangan-e-shauq usi samt ho liye

pichhla pahar hai shab ka ki hai sham ka saman

wo kya bata sakenge jo ek nind so liye

kya jabr hai subut-e-wafa pesh kijiye

aur un ka nam aae to phir lab na kholiye

'mohsin' zaban dijiye bazm-e-KHamosh ko

mohmal hai aaj lafz-e-suKHan kuchh to boliye
