Momin KHuda ke waste aisa makan na chhoD

'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

aashiq to jaante hain wo ai dil yahi sahi
har-chand be-asar hai par aah o fughan na chhoD

that she knows you love her, O heart this much you gain
don't give up your lamentation, though it be in vain

us tab-e-naznin ko kahan tab-e-infial
jasus mere waste ai bad-guman na chhoD

---
---

na-chaar denge aur kisi KHub-ru ko dil
achchha tu apni KHu-e-bad ai bad-zaban na chhoD

some other gentle beauty will now on my heart sustain
your petulance, abusiveness, you're welcome to retain

zaKHmi kiya udu ko to marna muhaal hai
qurban jaun tere mujhe nim-jaan na chhoD

if you wound my rival, dying will be hard then too
don't leave me half-alive I will give my life for you,

kuchh kuchh durust zid se teri ho chale hain wo
yak-chand aur kaj-rawi ai aasman na chhoD

She seems to have improved somewhat at your insistence
with your wayward gait o Sky don't for a while dispense

jis kuche mein guzar saba ka na ho sake
ai andalib us ke liye gulsitan na chhoD

any street, access to which, zephyrs will never gain
O nightingale do not forsake the garden for that lane

gar phir bhi ashk aaen to jaanun ki ishq hai
huqqe ka munh se ghair ki jaanib dhuan na chhoD

if even then, his eyes tear up, his love is true I'll know
smoke, into my rival's face, when you cease to blow

hota hai is jahim mein hasil visal-e-jaur
'momin' ajab bahisht hai dair-e-mughan na chhoD

you will meet the virgins here, in this fiery domain
momin as paradise is myth, immersed in wine remain
