ho na betab ada tumhaari aaj
naz karti hai be-qarari aaj

ud gaya khak par ghubar apna
ho gai khak khaksari aaj

naza hai aur roz wada-e-wasl
hai bahar-taur dam-shumari aaj

mana-e-qatl kyun hua dushman
jaan hi jaegi hamari aaj

tere aate hi dam mein dam aaya
ho gai yas umid-wari aaj

koi bhinche hai dil ko pahlu mein
kis ne ki us se ham-kinari aaj

us ke shikwe se hai asar zahir
kuchh to kahti hai aah-o-zari aaj

ek nai aarzu ka khun hua
hum hain aur taza sogwari aaj

chhut gae mar ke nesh-e-hijran se
kaam aaya hai zakhm-e-kari aaj

bekasi kyun hai nash par majma
kya hui tu meri piyari aaj

bhule hazrat nasihat ai naseh
hai kisi ki to yaadgari aaj

'momin' us but ko dekh aah bhari
kya hua laf-e-din-dari aaj
