gulshan ho nigahon mein to jannat na samajhna
dam-bhar ki inayat ko mohabbat na samajhna

kya shai hai mata-e-gham-o-rahat na samajhna
jina hai to jine ki haqiqat na samajhna

ho khair tere gham ki ki hum ne tere gham se
sikha hai masarrat ko masarrat na samajhna

nisbat hi nahin koi mohabbat ko khirad se
ai dil kabhi mafhum-e-mohabbat na samajhna

ye kis ne kaha tum se ki rudad-e-wafa ko
sun kar bhi samajhne ki zarurat na samajhna

virani-e-mahaul ko barbaadi-e-dil ko
har daur mein aasar-e-mohabbat na samajhna

sar kham ho agar maslahat-e-waqt ke aage
is jabr-e-musalsal ko ibaadat na samajhna

dekhe jo tumhein koi mohabbat ki nazar se
lillah 'shakil' us ko mohabbat na samajhna
