ejaz-e-jaan-dahi hai hamare kalam ko
zinda kiya hai hum ne masiha ke nam ko
life-bestowing miracles my poetry can claim
glory I have now restored to the Messiah's name
Momin Khan Momin
go aap ne jawab bura hi diya wale
mujh se bayan na kije adu ke payam ko
though you may have replied to him as rudely as you claim
don't tell me what was in my rival's message, just the same
Momin Khan Momin
manga karenge ab se dua hijr-e-yar ki
aaKHir to dushmani hai asar ko dua ke sath
to be parted from my dearest I will pray now hence
as after all prayers bear enmity with consequence
Momin Khan Momin
'momin' KHuda ke waste aisa makan na chhoD
dozaKH mein Dal KHuld ko ku-e-butan na chhoD
for sake of God! momin from leaving this house refrain
let paradise to hell consign, leave not the idol's lane
Momin Khan Momin
tab-e-nazzara nahin aaina kya dekhne dun
aur ban jaenge taswir jo hairan honge
how can I let her see the mirror, she lacks strength to see
a picture she'll herself become, stunned by the imagery
Momin Khan Momin
tum hamare kisi tarah na hue
warna duniya mein kya nahin hota
your love by any means I could not gain
Or else in life what would not one attain
Momin Khan Momin
tum mere pas hote ho goya
jab koi dusra nahin hota
in such a manner are you close to me
when no one else at all there ever be
Momin Khan Momin
