Mausam

tumhaare shahr ka mausam bada suhana lage main ek sham chura lun agar bura na lage

kisi ke chhut jaane ka use kyon gham nahin hota

kisi ke chhut jaane ka use kyon ghham nahin hota tira dil hai ki patthar hai kabhi jo nam nahin hota parinde gungunate hain tumhare shahr men lekin hamare shahr ka aisa kabhi mausam nahin hota ba-zahir jugnuon ki raushni se ghar to raushan hai magar phir bhi mire ghar ka andhera kam nahin hota khuda se gar tujhe manga nahin hota du'aon men tujhe khone ka phir ham ko zara bhi ghham nahin hota nigahon ne hamari ek manzar vo bhi dekha hai jahan apnon ke marne ka koi matam nahin hota kisi ke chhut jaane ka use kyon gham nahin hota tera dil hai ki patthar hai kabhi jo nam nahin hota parinde gungunate hain tumhaare shahr mein lekin hamare shahr ka aisa kabhi mausam nahin hota ba-zahir jugnuon ki raushni se ghar to raushan hai magar phir bhi mere ghar ka andhera kam nahin hota khuda se gar tujhe manga nahin hota du'aon mein tujhe khone ka phir hum ko zara bhi gham nahin hota nigahon ne hamari ek manzar wo bhi dekha hai jahan apnon ke marne ka koi matam nahin hota

jo un masum aankhon ne diye the wo dhoke aaj tak main kha raha hun the couplet plays on the contrast between outward innocence and inner trickery. the beloved’s “ma’soom” eyes become a metaphor for charming appearances that mislead. the speaker’s pain is not momentary; it has stretched into a lasting wound. emotionally, it is a confession of love mixed with regret and enduring hurt.

dur tak chhae the baadal aur kahin saya na tha is tarah barsat ka mausam kabhi aaya na tha

sardi mein din sard mila har mausam bedard mila

jab mere liye koi bhi sazish na rahegi

jab mere liye koi bhi sazish na rahegi aise main to jiine ki bhi khvahish na rahegi main kaghhazi kapdon men nikal aunga lekin mujh pe kisi mausam ki navazish na rahegi vo chahe to banjar ko bhi phulon se navaze vo rutha to savan men bhi barish na rahegi jab mere liye koi bhi sazish na rahegi aise main to jine ki bhi khwahish na rahegi main kaghazi kapdon mein nikal aaunga lekin mujh pe kisi mausam ki nawazish na rahegi wo chahe to banjar ko bhi phulon se nawaze wo rutha to sawan mein bhi barish na rahegi

baithe baithe phenk diya hai aatish-dan mein kya kya kuchh mausam itna sard nahin tha jitni aag jala li hai

jaisa mud ho waisa manzar hota hai mausam to insan ke andar hota hai

garmiyon ki baad-e-sar-sar dil jalane aa gai

garmiyon ki bad-e-sar-sar dil jalane aa gai shab hui to yaad phir mujh ko rulane aa gai main tahayya kar ke baitha tha ki duniya chhod duun koi koyal 'ain us mauqa' pe gaane aa gai yaar to khud aa na paaya itna us ne kar diya yaar ki tasvir hi mujh ko manane aa gai ham samajh baithe haqiqat is jahan-e-rang ko maut phir is khvab-e-ghhaflat se jagane aa gai 'kaif' jab tuute hue the ham to vo aati na thi khud hui jab ghham-zada to muskurane aa gai garmiyon ki baad-e-sar-sar dil jalane aa gai shab hui to yaad phir mujh ko rulane aa gai main tahayya kar ke baitha tha ki duniya chhod dun koi koyal 'ain us mauqa' pe gane aa gai yar to khud aa na paya itna us ne kar diya yar ki taswir hi mujh ko manane aa gai hum samajh baithe haqiqat is jahan-e-rang ko maut phir is khwab-e-ghaflat se jagane aa gai 'kaif' jab tute hue the hum to wo aati na thi khud hui jab gham-zada to muskurane aa gai

bahut se gham december mein december ke nahin the use bhi june ka gham tha magar roya december mein

bikhri zulfon ne sikhai mausamon ko shairi jhukti aankhon ne bataya mai-kashi kya chiz hai

mere pas se uth kar wo us ka jaana sari kaifiyyat hai guzarte mausam si

aati jati hai ja-ba-ja badli saqiya jald aa hawa badli

wo log mere bahut pyar karne wale the guzar gae hain jo mausam guzarne wale the

ab ki rut mein jab dharti ko barkha ki mahkar mile mere badan ki mitti ko bhi rangon mein nahla dena

mausam ne khet-khet ugai hai fasl-e-zard sarson ke khet hain ke jo pile nahin rahe
