rah ke masjid mein kyaa hi ghabraayaa — 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

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

zulfein munh par hain munh hai zulfon mein
raat bhar subh shaam din bhar hai
