uljhaa hai paanv yaar kaa zulf-e-daraaz mein — 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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

tu maujud hai main maadum huun is kaa matlab ye hai
tujh mein jo naapaid hai pyaare vo hai mayassar mujh mein

dosti pyaar vafaa aur khulus
mujhe lagte hain ye phande saare
