jaise hum aate hain KHidmat mein sabhi aaya karen
jaise ham aate haiñ ḳhidmat meñ sabhī aayā kareñ
lekin ai jān-e-karam jab ham chale jaayā kareñ
merā zikr aate hī chup hone kā koī mudda.ā
kuchh to āḳhir vo mire baare meñ farmāyā kareñ
sab haiñ vaise aur koī bhī nahīñ is shahr meñ
ye kahīñ jaane kī bastī hai kahāñ jaayā kareñ
sab haiñ vaise aur koī bhī nahīñ is shahr meñ
ye kahīñ jaane kī bastī hai kahāñ jaayā kareñ
tishnagī bhī maslahat hai lekin andāze ke saath
zarf vaale ab hameñ itnā na tarsāyā kareñ
kal se kuchh galiyoñ meñ bāteñ ho rahī haiñ aur idhar
ham bhī ab Thahreñge kam vo bhī guzar jaayā kareñ
ham to qisse kahte kahte thak ga.e chup ho ga.e
ab hamārī dāstāneñ log dohrāyā kareñ
mujh ko ghar kī raunaqoñ ne ye na dī hogī duā
tere sar par umr bhar tanhā.iyāñ saayā kareñ
kyā tasallī duuñ ab is armān-e-tiflāñ par ki aap
koī din to raat se pahle bhī ghar aayā kareñ
ho shumār apnā bhī āsūda-nasīboñ meñ agar
āgahī ke zaḳhm bāzāroñ meñ bik jaayā kareñ
'mahshar' achchhā hai ḳhayāl-e-rasm-o-rāh-e-dil magar
baat nāzuk hai zabāñ par soch kar laayā kareñ
jaise hum aate hain KHidmat mein sabhi aaya karen
lekin ai jaan-e-karam jab hum chale jaya karen
mera zikr aate hi chup hone ka koi muddaa
kuchh to aaKHir wo mere bare mein farmaya karen
sab hain waise aur koi bhi nahin is shahr mein
ye kahin jaane ki basti hai kahan jaya karen
sab hain waise aur koi bhi nahin is shahr mein
ye kahin jaane ki basti hai kahan jaya karen
tishnagi bhi maslahat hai lekin andaze ke sath
zarf wale ab hamein itna na tarsaya karen
kal se kuchh galiyon mein baaten ho rahi hain aur idhar
hum bhi ab Thahrenge kam wo bhi guzar jaya karen
hum to qisse kahte kahte thak gae chup ho gae
ab hamari dastanen log dohraya karen
mujh ko ghar ki raunaqon ne ye na di hogi dua
tere sar par umr bhar tanhaiyan saya karen
kya tasalli dun ab is arman-e-tiflan par ki aap
koi din to raat se pahle bhi ghar aaya karen
ho shumar apna bhi aasuda-nasibon mein agar
aagahi ke zaKHm bazaron mein bik jaya karen
'mahshar' achchha hai KHayal-e-rasm-o-rah-e-dil magar
baat nazuk hai zaban par soch kar laya karen
