sauda tha bala-e-josh par raat
bistar par bichhae nashtar raat
bigDe the yahan wo aan kar raat
be-taur bani thi jaan par raat
hum ta-sahar aap mein nahin the
kya jaane rahe wo kis ke ghar raat
afsana samajh ke so gae wo
kaam aai fughan-e-be-asar raat
aaine mein ho na mom jadu
sote nahin ab wo ta-sahar raat
tare aankhen jhapak rahe the
tha baam pe kaun jalwa-gar raat
andhera paDa zamane mein hae
ne din ko hai mehr ne qamar raat
is lail-o-nahaar-e-gham ne mara
hai roz se siyah-tar raat
kya puchho ho munkar-o-nakir aah
bigDe jo wo tan-e-ghair par raat
ye baat baDhi ki mar gae hum
maut aai thi qissa muKHtasar raat
is ghar mein hai aish-e-KHuld 'momin'
kya jaane kahan hai din kidhar raat
Ghazal
Sauda tha bala-e-josh par raat
Momin Khan Momin
