mat puchh mere jah ko hashmat ko kya hua

mat puchh mere jah ko hashmat ko kya hua
hairan khud hun main meri qismat ko kya hua
kyon dekhte hi dekhte duniya badal gai
har shai ki ek dam se ye haalat ko kya hua


insaniyat ke shah ukhuwwat ke tajwar
in sab ke husn-e-khulq ki aadat ko kya hua
us ke khisal-e-nek ka shohra tha chaar su
ab is haya-o-sharm ko ghairat ko kya hua


late the chun ke log aqidat ke phul jo
na jaane aaj un ki aqidat ko kya hua
milte hain mujh se dost bhi aghyar ki tarah
koi batae un ki murawwat ko kya hua


'mohsin' kabhi jo karta tha mujh pe nisar jaan
ab sochta hun us ki mohabbat ko kya hua
