Wo jo hum mein tum mein qarar tha tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
wohi yani wada nibah ka tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
wo naye gile wo shikayaten wo maze maze ke hikayaten
wo har ek baat pe ruthana tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
koi baat aisi agar hui jo tumhare jee ko buri lagi
to bayan se pahale hi bhulana tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
suno zikr hai kai saal ka, koi wada mujh se tha aap ka
wo nibahane ka to zikr kya, tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
kabhi hum mein tum mein bhi chah thi, kabhi hum se tum se bhi reh thi
kabhi hum bhi tum bhi the aashna, tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
hue ittefaq se gar baham, wo wafa jatane ko dam-ba-dam
gila-e-malamat-e-arqaba, tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
wo jo lutf mujh pe the beshtar, wo karam ke hath mere hath par
mujhe sab hain yaad zara zara, tumhen yaad no ki na yaad ho
kabhi baithe sab hain jo ru-ba-ru to isharaton hi se guftagu
wo bayan shauq ka baramala tumhen yaad ho ki na yaad ho
wo bigadana vasl ke raat ka, wo na manana kisi baat ka
wo nahiin nahi ke har aan ada, tumhen yaad ho ki na yaad ho
jise aap ginte the aashna jise aap kahate the bavafa
main wohi hun “momin”-e-mubtala tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho
That kindred connection which you and I had…you may or may not remember…
That assured promise of a lifetime together, you may or may not remember…
Those new indictments, those complaints, those delightful tales…
That moment of upset at everything, you may or may not remember…
Once you and I were full of adoration for each other, once you and I were viewing this path together
Once you and I used to be sweethearts, you may or may not remember
The one you believed was your soul mate, lover…the one you recited as faithful
I remain that enamored Momin (believer) …you may or not remember…
That kindred connection which you and I had…you may or may not remember…
(Momin Khan Momin)
