kar ilaaj-e-josh-e-vahshat chaaragar — Momin Khan Momin

vo jo ham mein tum mein qaraar thaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
vahi yaani vaada nibaah kaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho

kuchh qafas mein in dinon lagtaa hai ji
aashiyaan apnaa huaa barbaad kyaa

shab jo masjid mein jaa phanse 'momin'
raat kaaTi khudaa khudaa kar ke

tu kahaan jaaegi kuchh apnaa Thikaana kar le
ham to kal khvaab-e-adam mein shab-e-hijraan honge

na maanungaa nasihat par na suntaa main to kyaa kartaa
ki har har baat mein naaseh tumhaaraa naam letaa thaa

tum hamaare kisi tarah na hue
varna duniyaa mein kyaa nahin hotaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
