Ab mere dosray bazoo pe wo shamsheer hai jo
Is se pehle bhi mera nisf badan kaat chuki,
Usi bandooq ki goli/nali hai meri samt ke jo
Is se pehle bhi meri shah rag ka lahu chaat chuki,


Phir wohi aag dhar aye hai meri galyuun mein
Phir mere sehn mein barood ki boo pheli hai,
Phir se tu kaun hai mein kaun hoon aapas mein sawal
Phir wohi soch mayan man o tu pheli hai

Meri Basti se parey bhi mere dushman hongey
Per yahan kab koi aghyaar ka lashker utra
Ashnaa haath hi aksar mari jaanib lapkey
Mere seeney mein mera apna hi khanjar utra.

Phir wohi khauf ki deewar, tazabzub ki faza
Phir hui aam wohi ahl e riya ki baatein
Nara e hubbe watan, maal e tajarat ki tarah
Jins e ajzaan ki tarah, deen e Khuda ki baatein

Is se pehle bhi to aisi hee gadi aye thee
Subh e wehshat ki tarah shaam e gharibaan ki tarah
Is se pehle bhi to paimaan e wafa tootay thay
Sheesha dil ki tarah aina e jaan ki tarah

Phir kahan ahmeri hoton pe duaon ke diye
Phir kahan shabnami chehron pe refaqat ki rida
Sandali paon se mastana ravi rooth gai
Marmari haathon pe jal bujh gaya angaar e hina

Dil nashin aankhon mein furqat zada kaajal roya
Shaakh e bazoo ke liye zulf ka baadal roya

Misl e pairahan e gul phir se badan chaak hue
Jaise apnon ki kamanon mein hon aghyar ke teer
Is se pehle bhi hua chand muhabbat ka do neem
Noke e dashna sey khinchi thi meri matti pe lakeer

Ab magar aisa nahee aisa nahee honay dena
Aye mere sokhta jaano mere pyaare logon
Ab ke gar zalzaley aaye to qayamat hogi
Mere dil geer mere dard ke maare logon
Kisi ghasib, kisi zaalim/ kisi jaabir kisi hakim ke liye
Khud ko taqseem na kara mere saray logo

Teri umeed, tera intezar jab se hai
Na shab ko din se shikayat na din ko shab se hai,

Kisi ka dard ho karte haiN tere naam raqam
Gilaa hai jo bhi kisi se, tere sabab se hai,

Hua hai jab se dil E na saboor be – qaboo
Kalam tujh se nazar ko baRe adab se hai,

Agar sharar hai to bhaRke, jo phool hai to khile,
Tarah tarah ki talab, tere rang e lab se hai,

KahaaN gaye shab E furqat ke jaagne wale
Sitaara e sehari hum kalaam kab se hai

Translation:

Each star a rung,

night comes down the spiral

staircase of the evening.

The breeze passes by so very close

as if someone just happened to speak of love.

In the courtyard,

the trees are absorbed refugees

embroidering maps of return on the sky.

On the roof,

the moon - lovingly, generously -

is turning the stars

into a dust of sheen.

From every corner, dark-green shadows,

in ripples, come towards me.

At any moment they may break over me,

like the waves of pain each time I remember

this separation from my lover.

This thought keeps consoling me:

though tyrants may command that lamps be smashed

in rooms where lovers are destined to meet,

they cannot snuff out the moon, so today,

nor tomorrow, no tyranny will succeed,

no poison of torture make me bitter,

if just one evening in prison

can be so strangely sweet,

if just one moment anywhere on this earth.

Chand Roz Or meri Jaan Faqat chand hi Roz:

Chand roz aur meri jaan faqat chand hi roz
zulm ki chanoon main dam lene par majbur hain ham
ik zara aur sitam sah len tarap len ro len
apne ajdad ki miras hai mazur hain ham
jism par qaid hai jazbat pe zanjire hai
fikr mahbus hai guftar pe taziren hain
aur apni himmat hai k ham phir bhi jiye jate hain
zindagi kya kisi muflis k qaba hai
jis main har ghari dard k paivand lage jate hain
lekin ab zulm k miyad k din thore hain
ik zara sabr k fariyad k din thore hain
arsa-e-dahar ki jhulsi hui wirani main
ham ko rahna hai par yun hi to nahin rahna hai
ajnabi hathon ka benam garan-bar sitam
aj sahna hai hamesha to nahin sahna hai
ye teri husn se lipti hui alaam ki gard
apni do roza jawani ki shikaston ka shumar
chandani raton ka bekar dahakta hua dard
dil k besud tarap jism ki mayus pukar
chand roz aur meri jan faqat chand hi roz

Translation:

Only a few days, dear one, a few days more.

Only a few days, dear one, a few days more.

Under oppression’s shadows condemned to breathe,

Still for a time we must bear them, and tears, and

endure

What our forefathers, not our own faults, bequeath:

Fettered limbs, each impulse held on a chain,

Minds in bondage, our words all watched and set down

Courage still nerves us, or how should we still exist,

Now with existence only a beggar’s gown,

Tattered, and patched every hour with new rags of p

ain?

Yes, but to tyranny not many hours are left now;

Patience a little, few hours of lamenting remain.

In this parched air of an age that desert sands choke

We must stay now—not forever and ever stay!

Under this load beyond words of a foreign yoke

We must submit for a while—not for ever submit!

Dust of affliction that clings to your beauty today,

Crosses unnumbered that mar our few mornings of youth,

Torment of silver nights, a pain with no cure,

Heartache unanswered, the body’s long cry of despair

Only a few days, dear one, a few days more.

Aaiye hath uthaiyeN hum bhi
Hum jinheN rasm-e-dua yaad nahiN

Hum jinheN soz-e-mohabbat ke siwa
Koyee butt koyee khuda yaad nahiN

Aaiye arz guzaraiN keh nigaar-e-hasti
Zehr-e-imroz meiN sheereeni-e-farda bhar de

Woh jinheN taab-e-garaaN baariye ayyam nahiN
Un kee palkoN peh shab-o-roz ko halka kar de

Jinn kee aankhoN ko rukh-e-subh ka yaara bhi nahiN
Un ki raatoN meiN koi shama munawwar kar de

Jin ke qadmoN ko kisi reh ka sahara bhi nahiN
Un ki nazroN pe koyee raah ujaagar kar de

Jin ka deeN pairawi-e-kizb-o-riya hai un ko
Himmat-e-kufr milay jurrat-e-tehqeeq milay

Jin ke sar muntazir-e-tegh-e-jafa haiN un ko
Dast-e-qatil ko jhatak dainay ki taufeeq milay

Ishq ka sirr-e-nihaN jaan tipa hai jis se
Aaj iqrar kareiN aur tapish mit jaye

Harf-e-haq dil meiN khatakta hai jo kaante ki tarah
Aaj izhaar kareiN aur khalish mit jaye

Hasratain zeest ko ghery main liye rakhti hain,
Khasta diwaar sy cimty hoye jaalon ki tarhan,

Zindagi khushk hy viraan hy afsurda hy,
Aik mazdoor k bikhry hoye baalon ki tarhaan.

In Aankhon ki masti k mastaany hazaaron hain,

Aik tum hi nahin tanhaa, ulfat main meri ruswaa,
Is shehr main tum jesy diwaany hazaron hain,

Aik sirf hum hi may ko aankhon sy pilaaty hain,
Kehny ko to duniaa main maykhaany hazaron hain,

Is shaam-e-farozaan ko aandhi sy daraty ho,
Is shaam-e-farozaan k parwaany hazarun hain. . .

Fankaar Hai To Hath Pe Sooraj Saja K La...
Bujhta Huwa Diya Na Muqabil Hawa K La...

Darya Ka Intiqaam Dabo De Na Ghar Tera...
Saahil Se Roz Roz Na Kankar Utha K La...

Thori Si Aur Mauj Main Aa Ay Hawa-e-Gul...
Thori Si Us K Jism Ki Khushboo Chura K La...

Samaan Wafa Ka Bandh Magar Soch Soch Kar...
Is Ibtidaa Main Youn Na Sakhat Inteha K La...

Gar Dekhna Hai Ehl-e-Mashiyat Ka Hosla...
Maidaan Se Ghar Main Ek Maiyet Utha K La...

Mohsin Ab Us Ka Naam Hai Sab Ki Zubaan Par...
Kis Ne Kaha Tha Us Ko Ghazal Main Saja K La...

فنکار ہے تو ہاتھہ پہ سورج سجا کے لا  
بجھتا ہوا دیا......... نہ مقابل ہوا کے لا

دریا کا انتقام ڈبو دے نہ گھر تیرا
ساحل سے روز روز نہ کنکر اٹھا کے لا

اب اختتام کو ہے سخی حرف التماس
کچھہ ہے تو اب وہ سامنے دست دعا کے لا

پیماں وفا کے باندھ مگر سوچ سوچ کر
اس ابتدا میں یوں نہ سخن انتہا کے لا

آرائش جراحت یاراں کی بزم میں
جو زخم دل میں ہیں سبھی تن پر سجا کے لا

تھوڑی سی اور موج میں آ اے ہوائے گل
تھوڑی سی اس کے جسم کی چرا کے لا

گر سوچنا ہیں اہل مشیت کے حوصلے
میداں سے گھر میں ایک تو میت اٹھا کے لا

محسن اب اس کا نام ہے سب کی زبان پر
کس نے کہا کہ اس کو غزل میں سجا لا

Iqbal Teri Qaum Ka Iqbal Kho Gya
Mazi To Sunehra Hai Magar Haal Kho Gya

Wo Roub-O-Dabdaba Wo Jalal Kho Gya
Wo Hasn Be-Misaal Jo Jamal Kho Gya

Dobe Hain Jawabon Mai Per Sawal Kho Gya
Iqbal Teri Qaum Ka Iqbal Kho Gya

Urte Jo Fizaon Mai Thay
Shaheen Na Rahe, Bazouq Na Rahe

Zaheen Na Rahe, Pakiza Na Rahe
Ba-Deen Na Rahe, Wo Lala-O-Gulzar

Wo Mah Jabeen Na Rahe
Momin Ka Wo Andaz-E-Bakamal Kho Gya
Iqbal Teri Qaum Ka Iqbal Kho Gya. . .

Is door k rasm riwaajon sy,
in takhton sy in taajon sy,
Jo zulm ki kookh sy janty hain,
Insaani khon sy palty hain,
Jo nafrat ki buniaadain hain,
or khoon k hait ki khaadain hain,
Main baaghi hun main baaghi hun,
J0 chahye mujh py zulm karo,

Wo jin k hoont ki jambish sy,
wo jin ki aankh ki larzish sy,
Qanoon badaly rehty hain,
Or mujhrim palty rehty hain,
In chooron k sardaron sy,
insaaf k pehry daaron sy,
main baaghi hun, main baaghi hun,
Jo chahye mujh py zulm karo,

Mazhab k jo byopaari hain,
wo sab sy bari bimaari hain,
Wo jin k siwaa sab kafir hain,
jo deen k harf-e-aakhir hain,
In jhhoty or makaron sy,
mazhab k pehra daaron sy,
Main baaghi hun, Main baaghi hun
Jo cahahye mujh py zulm karo,

Mery haath main haq ka jhandaa hy,
Mery sar py zulm ka phandaa hy,
Main marny sy kab darta hun,
Main mout ki khaatir zinda hun,
Mery khoon ka suraj chamky ga,
to bacha bacha booly ga,
MAIN BAAGHI HUN MAIN BAAGHI HUN,
JO CHAHYE MUJH PY ZULM KARO. . .

Ghazlain to kuch kahin hain hum ny, in sy kaha ehwaal to kia,
Kal mil-e-sitaara ubhray ga, hain aaj agar ubrhain gy to kia,

Jeeny ki dua deny waaly, ye raaz tujhy maloom kahan,
Tahkeek ka aik lamha hy boht, Bekaar jeye so saal to kia,

Sikoon k arz jo bik jaye, wo meri meri nazar main husn nahin,
Ay shama-e-Shabistaan-e- dolat! to jo hy pari tamsaal to kia,

Har phool k lab par naam mera, Charchaa hy chaman main aam mera,
Shurat ki ye dolat kia kam hy?  Gar paas nahin hy maal to kia,

Hum ahle-e-mohbat paa lain gy apny hi sahary manzil ko,
Yaraan-e-siasat ny har soo phelaye hain rangeen jaal to kia,

DUNIAY-E-ADAB MAIN AY JALIB APNI BHI KOI PEHCHAAN HO,
IQBAL KA RANG ORHANY SY TU BAN BHI GYA IQBAL TO KIA?

Wo dilawar jo siaah shab kay shikaari nikly,
Wo bhi charhty hoye soraj kay pojaari niklay,

Sab kay honton pay hain mery baad meri baatin,
Mery dushman mery lafzoon k bhekari niklay,

Aik janaaza utha maqtal sy ajab shaan k saath,
Jesy saj kar kisi faateh ki sawaari niklay,

Behty askhon sy shoaaon ki sabelain phootin,
Chubhtay zakhmon sy fan-e-naksh nigari niklay,

Hum ko har door k pathar ny salaami di hy,
Hum wo pathar hain jo har door main bhaari niklay,

Aks koi bhi ho khad-o-khaal tumhary dekhon,
bazm koi ho magar baat tumhari niklay,

Apny dushman sy main Be wajaa khafa tha "Mohsin"
Mery qaatil to mery apny Hawari niklay. . .

Tum aa gaye ho, Kion intazaar-e-sham karin,
kaho to, kion na abhi sy kuch ahtamaam karin,

khaloos-o-mehr-o-wafa loog kar chuky hain boht
mery khayaal main an koi or kaam karin,

Ye khaas-0-aam ki guftago kab tak,
qabool ki jiye jo faisla awaam karin,

Har aadmi nahin shaista ramooz-e-sukhan,
wo kam sukhan ho, mukhatib to hum kalaam karain,

Juda hoye hain boht loog aik tum bhi sahi,
ab itni baat py kia zindagi haraam karin,

Khuda agar kabhi aktyaar dy hum ko,
to pehly khaak nasheenon ka intazaam karin,

Raah-e-talb main jo gum naam mar gaye NASIR,
Mata-e-dard inhin saathi0n k naam karin. . .

Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai

Suna hai sher ka jab pait bhar jaaye
to woh hamla nahi kerta,
darkhton ki ghani chauN main ja ker let jaata hai,

Hawa ke tez jhonke jub darkhtoN ko hilate hain
to maina apne bacche chor ke ,
kawwe ke andon ko paron se tham leti hai

Suna hai ghonsle se koi bachha gir pare to
sara jangal jaag jaata hai,

Suna hai jub kisi naddi ke paani main
baye ke ghonsle ka gandumi saaya larzta hai,
to naddi ki rupehli machlian use parosi maan leti hain

Koi toofan aa jaaye koi pul toot jaaye
to kisi lakri ke takhte per
ghilari, saanp, bakri aur cheetah saath hote hain,

Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai,

Khuda wanda, jaleel-o-mautabar,
daana-o-beena, munseef-o-akbar
mere is shahr main
ab janglon hi ka koi qanoon naafiz kar. . .

Goya Andaz-e-Tazeem Hai Ameeron Jaisa,
Mere Andar Ka Hai Insan Faqeeron Jaisa.

Humne Chehre Pe Saja Rakhi Hai Shehr Ki Ronaq,
Mery Dil Ka Aalam Hai Veeran Jazeron Jaisa.

Us K Osaf-o-Khasail Ne Mujhe Jeet Lia,
Mere Mureedon Main Tha Wo Shakhs Peeron Jaisa,

Is Se Pehle Bhi Aseeri Thi Rehaaii Jaisi,
Ab K Azadi Main Hai Haal Aseeron Jaisa,

Usko Ganwa K Hain Khasaray Ab Tak MOHSIN,
Wo Jo Ek Shaks Tha Mere Haath Main Heeron Jaisa..
