Nazm
ek roz mujhe KH'aab meN
Allaha se mulaakaat huii
Kahne lage 'Mukhtalif'
ye bhi koi baat hui
abhi to waqt nahiiN huaa
yahaaN ka ticket kisne diyaa?
Hamne kahaa saaHib
gaye to ham the dozaKH
par haal wahaaN buraa hai
tinkaa bhar jagah bhi
wahaaN par nahiiN hai
laakhoN khaRe the baahar
phir ik mulaazim aayaa
kahne laagaa, Bhaai!
tum ho to nahiiN namaazi
ek aNdhe ko kabhi tum ne
thi saRak paar karaai
so diyaa ticket yaahaaN kaa
aur kiyaa hamko ruKhsat.
dekho mere bhai
ye CHoTi si jagah hai
aur aadmi bohat haiN
haal ab to ye hai
ham to apne kamre se
KHud hi be-daKHal haiN
phir hamne aNdar jhaaNkaa
do daaRhi waale baNde
SaahiB ke yaaN jame the
Ye kauN? hamne puuchaa
Kahne lage Saahib,
tasbeeh jo liye hai
woh hai baRaa namaazii
Aur uske baaiiN jaanib
Farari waalaa saadhu
din raat naam lekar
mujh ko pukaarte haiN
dushwaar hai ab jiinaa
in ke shorgul meN
chaaho to tum bhi in ke
saath saath rah le
lekiN jahaan waalaa
ghar apna mujh ko de do.

God does, indeed, have a sense of humor.
We don't need to go far to see this.
Hamaare ALUP nagar ke marGhuub shaa'ir janaab-e-moHtaram Raj Kumar "Qais" saahab kaa yeh kalaam pesh-e-Khidmat hai.
(aur yeh ko'ii man-ghaRat baat nahiiN hai, janaab Khud wahaaN ho aaye haiN, aur tajrubaati fasaanah suna rahe haiN

2. aur, is muqaddame meiN, maiN ne "mashii’at" (ya'ani-k, the will of God, Khudaa ki razaa, Bhagvaan ki marzii) ko aek 'lady judge' qaraar diyaa hai. Luckily for me, the word "mashii'at" is also a feminine noun!
3. is nazm meiN, aek maqaam par 'fajr' aur 'ishaa' ka zikr aayaa hai --- yeh voh vaqt haiN jab k kuchh log apne Khudaa ke huzoor namaaz paRhte haiN aur kuchh log apne Bhagvaan ki aarti utaarte haiN. maiN jaanta hooN k in meiN se pehle lafz ka munaasib talaffuz 'fajr' hai magar mujhe is nazm meiN 'fajar' kehna paRaa hai.

aik alsaaii do-pahar
maiN akela o awaaraa
qadam mere Dagmag Dagmag
raah chaltaa tha magar
phir wahaan lekin jahaaN
muRtii thi saRak jahaaN
Peepal ka tha ik daraKHt
woh bhi tanhaa beKHbar
is taraf zamiin par
maiN banataa tha kuch naqs
ujali jhilmil ret par
phir wahaaN Peepul ke niiche
tha khaRaa Morgan Freeman
detaa tha mujh ko sadaa
us ka ye ruKH raas na aayaa
ye kambaKHt yahaaN kyuN na aayaa?
palak jhapakte hi woh tha
mere baaiN jaanib aa baiThaa
Kyaa kahte ho? hamne poochaa
aik aur holiday!
bhalaa maiN kyuN?
Jim Carey ne to baTTa lagaa diyaa
tum shair ho ye achchaa hai
Mujhe to aap m'aaf rakho
woh kyuN? tha Freeman hairaan
roz ba roz ka jhaaRu pochaa
us par building chaar maNzilaa
mujhe m'aaf rakho
Kahne lagaa woh,
lekin butoN ka hogaa saath
lambi gaaRi aur sharaab.
us par mahal Beverly Hill par!
Mujhe m'aaf rakho saahib
ye sab to hai aik pill ka kamaal
Maya moh hai man ka janjaal
"alam kisu hakeem ka baandha tilism hai
kuch to aitbaar bhi ho kainaat ka!"
Mujhe to aap m'aaf rakho

I have also seen it written as "kucch ho to aitbaar ho is kaainaat ka" but I prefer the above version.

If that is the case then why you have not included this she'r in Miir's immortal ash'aar thread?

btw Zafar Saahib interpreted this she’r not so much as some kind of existential conundrum but in more worldly manner i.e. the poet is in deep ennui and will believe this world has juice only if something really exciting happens.
However if the wording changes to 'ho is' kainaat then story dramatically changes. Then ho -> is not 'happen' but 'thing'
