Haaye Sanam Haaye Sanam Lab Pe Kyun — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
"Alas, beloved! Alas, beloved!" — why are these words upon your lips? O pious Momin, what has come over you?
Explanation
Here the poet gently teases the devout one. Why do words like 'oh my beloved, oh my beloved' keep slipping from your lips? You, who were known for your piety and faith, what has suddenly happened to you? It's a playful, loving observation that even the most religious heart can be swept away by love. The tone is tender, almost amused, pointing out how love softens everyone, no matter how strong their devotion once seemed. Love, the poet suggests, comes to all of us when we least expect it.
