use kaamyabi ki hajat nahin
mohabbat hai koi tijarat nahin

khatawar shukr-o-shikayat nahin
use baat karne ki aadat nahin

main rahta hun us ke khayalon mein gum
mujhe sans lene ki fursat nahin

wo hai rang khushbu dhanak chandni
use zeb-o-zinat ki hajat nahin

sitamgar wo mujh par ho jab mehrban
mubarak koi aisi saat nahin

uthaun main naz us gul-andam ke
mere waste ye saadat nahin

khushi ke taaqub mein hai gham yahan
ye duniya jahannum hai jannat nahin

qarin-e-haqiqat hai ye qaul bhi
zamane mein ab kuchh sharafat nahin

main is ko mohabbat ka tohfa kahun
agar tum ko mujh se shikayat nahin

main karta hun jin sathiyon se gurez
mujhe un se koi shikayat nahin

mujhe hasidon se hai shikwa magar
khuda waste ki adawat nahin

teri baat sachchi hai waiz magar
bayan mein tere kuchh latafat nahin

jamaat hai husn-e-ibaadat magar
jo dil se na ho wo ibaadat nahin

hakimana ulfat se aarasta
shariat se hat kar tariqat nahin

jahan mein wahi ab hai be-ikhtiyar
jise jhut bakne ki aadat nahin

mohabbat mein hai raaz raaz-e-hayat
mohabbat se badh kar ibaadat nahin
