khushi jaante hain na gham jaante hain
jo un ki raza ho wo hum jaante hain

jo kuchh chaar tinkon ko hum jaante hain
wo gulchin-o-sayyaad kam jaante hain

tumhaare hi jalwon ki hum raushni ko
tajalli-e-dair-o-haram jaante hain

main qatil na mahshar mein samjhun bhi to kya
tumhein sab khuda ki qasam jaante hain

meri khak-e-dil ka pata bhi nahin hai
wo itne sitam ko bhi kam jaante hain

khuda ko khuda hum samajhte hain waiz
magar han sanam ko sanam jaante hain

karenge na arz-e-tamanna ki hum khud
mohabbat ka apni bharam jaante hain

wahi kuchh samajhte hain asrar-e-hasti
jo hasti ko apni adam jaante hain

mata-e-do-alam samajhte hain hum bhi
magar chaar tinkon se kam jaante hain

kahin raaz-e-ulfat bhi hota hai zahir
kahen kyon jo kuchh tum ko hum jaante hain

khuda ko wahi khub pahchante hain
tumhein jo khuda ki qasam jaante hain

khuli hain dam-e-naza aankhen jo 'afqar'
abhi tak wo aankhon mein dam jaante hain
