ho na betab ada tumhari aaj
naaz karti hai be-qarari aaj
ud gaya khaak par ghubar apna
ho gai khaak khaksari aaj
nazaa hai aur roz vaada-e-vasl
hai bahar-taur dam-shumari aaj
mana-e-qatl kyuun hua dushman
jaan hi jaegi hamari aaj
tere aate hi dam men dam aaya
ho gai yaas umid-vari aaj
koi bheje hai dil ko pahlu men
kis ne ki us se ham-kinari aaj
us ke shikve se hai asar zahir
kuchh to kahti hai ah-o-zari aaj
ik nai aarzu ka khuun hua
ham hain aur taaza sogvari aaj
chhut gae mar ke nesh-e-hijran se
kaam aae hai zakhm-e-kari aaj
bekasi kyuun hai naash par majmaa
kya hui tu miri piyari aaj
bhule hazrat nasihat ai naseh
hai kisi ki to yadgari aaj
‘momin’ us but ko dekh aah bhari
kya hua laf-e-din-dari aaj
