MORE BYMomin Khan Momin

    ġhussa begāna-vār honā thā

    bas yahī tujh se yaar honā thā

    your anger served to alienate

    Love, why are you in such a state

    kyā shab-e-intizār honā thā

    nāhaq ummīd-vār honā thā

    just waiting, evenings I did pass

    why hopeful had to be alas

    kyuuñ na hote aziiz ġhair tumheñ

    merī qismat meñ ḳhvār honā thā

    why wouldn't rivals, you hold dear

    shamed, I was destined to appear

    mujh se jannat meñ vo sanam na milā

    hashr aur ek baar honā thā

    her, I, in heaven, did not meet

    so let now judgement day repeat

    gar na thī ai dil us ke ranj taab

    kyuuñ shikāyat-guzār honā thā

    ---

    ḳhaak hotā na maiñ to kyā kartā

    us ke dar ġhubār honā thā

    aaj to ham-kanār honā thā

    ---

    ---

    chashm-e-be-iḳhtiyār-e-jānāñ meñ

    kyā mirā iḳhtiyār honā thā

    ---

    ---

    sabr kar sabr ho chukā jo kuchh

    ai dil-e-be-qarār honā thā

    has happened all that had to be

    now patience, restless heart, merely

    kū-e-dushman meñ pakaḌtā kyuuñ

    kyā mujhe sharmsār honā thā

    ---

    ---

    vo namak-pāsh bhī nahīñ hote

    yuuñ dil ko figār honā thā

    ---

    ---

    ḳhaak meñ haif ye sharāb mile

    mohtasib bāda-ḳhvār honā thā

    by spilling thus wine is abused

    the censor too should have caroused

    na gayā tīr-e-nāla sū-e-raqīb

    murġh-e-arshī shikār honā thā

    ---

    ---

    raat din baada o sanam 'momin'

    kuchh to parhez-gār honā thā

    wine, women, nights and days enjoyed

    should have at times tried to avoid

    ghussa begana-war hona tha

    bas yahi tujh se yar hona tha

    your anger served to alienate

    Love, why are you in such a state

    kya shab-e-intizar hona tha

    nahaq ummid-war hona tha

    just waiting, evenings I did pass

    why hopeful had to be alas

    kyun na hote aziz ghair tumhein

    meri qismat mein KHwar hona tha

    why wouldn't rivals, you hold dear

    shamed, I was destined to appear

    mujh se jannat mein wo sanam na mila

    hashr aur ek bar hona tha

    her, I, in heaven, did not meet

    so let now judgement day repeat

    gar na thi ai dil us ke ranj ki tab

    kyun shikayat-guzar hona tha

    ---

    ---

    KHak hota na main to kya karta

    us ke dar ka ghubar hona tha
