Momin Khan Momin

Momin Khan Momin (1800–1852): A contemporary of Ghalib, Momin was known for his romantic and metaphysical poetry that resonates deeply with readers.

Tum mere paas hote ho goya
Na tha kuch to Khuda tha, kuch na hota to Khuda hota
Dekhna qismat ke aap apne pe rashk aa jaye hai
Hum ko un se wafa ki hai umeed
Chupke chupke raat din aansoo bahaana yaad hai
Ishq ke darya mein doobi hain tamannaayein meri
Dil ke aaine mein hai tasveer-e-yaar
Kehte hain jis ko ishq khalal hai dimaag ka
Tum humare kisi tarah na hue
Momin ne Momin ko Momin kaha
