falsafi ko bahs ke andar KHuda milta nahin
falsafī ko bahs ke andar ḳhudā miltā nahīñ
Dor ko suljhā rahā hai aur sirā miltā nahīñ
ma.arifat ḳhāliq kī aalam meñ bahut dushvār hai
shahr-e-tan meñ jab ki ḳhud apnā patā miltā nahīñ
ġhāfiloñ ke lutf ko kaafī hai duniyāvī ḳhushī
āqiloñ ko be-ġham-e-uqbā mazā miltā nahīñ
kashti-e-dil kī ilāhī bahr-e-hastī meñ ho ḳhair
nāḳhudā milte haiñ lekin bā-ḳhudā miltā nahīñ
ġhāfiloñ ko kyā sunā.ūñ dāstān-e-ishq-e-yār
sunñe vaale milte haiñ dard-āshnā miltā nahīñ
zindagānī kā mazā miltā thā jin kī bazm meñ
un kī qabroñ kā bhī ab mujh ko patā miltā nahīñ
sirf zāhir ho gayā sarmāya-e-zeb-o-safā
kyā ta.ajjub hai jo bātin bā-safā miltā nahīñ
puḳhta tabaoñ par havādis kā nahīñ hotā asar
kohsāroñ meñ nishān-e-naqsh-e-pā miltā nahīñ
shaiḳh-sāhib barahman se laakh barteñ dostī
ve bhajan gaa.eñ to mandir se Takā miltā nahīñ
jis pe dil aayā hai vo shīrīñ-adā miltā nahīñ
zindagī hai talḳh jiine kā mazā miltā nahīñ
log kahte haiñ ki bad-nāmī se bachnā chāhai
kah do be us ke javānī kā mazā miltā nahīñ
ahl-e-zāhir jis qadar chāheñ kareñ bahs-o-jidāl
maiñ ye samjhā huuñ ḳhudī meñ to ḳhudā miltā nahīñ
chal base vo din ki yāroñ se bharī thī anjuman
haaye afsos aaj sūrat-āshnā miltā nahīñ
manzil-e-ishq-o-tavakkul manzil-e-ezāz hai
shaah sab baste haiñ yaañ koī gadā miltā nahīñ
baar taklīfoñ kā mujh par bār-e-ehsāñ se hai sahal
shukr kī jā hai agar hājat-ravā miltā nahīñ
chāñdnī rāteñ bahār apnī dikhātī haiñ to kyā
be-tire mujh ko to lutf ai mah-laqā miltā nahīñ
mā'nī-e-dil kā kare iz.hār 'akbar' kis tarah
lafz mauzūñ bahr-e-kashf-e-mudda.ā miltā nahīñ
falsafi ko bahs ke andar KHuda milta nahin
Dor ko suljha raha hai aur sira milta nahin
marifat KHaliq ki aalam mein bahut dushwar hai
shahr-e-tan mein jab ki KHud apna pata milta nahin
ghafilon ke lutf ko kafi hai duniyawi KHushi
aaqilon ko be-gham-e-uqba maza milta nahin
kashti-e-dil ki ilahi bahr-e-hasti mein ho KHair
naKHuda milte hain lekin ba-KHuda milta nahin
ghafilon ko kya sunaun dastan-e-ishq-e-yar
sunne wale milte hain dard-ashna milta nahin
zindagani ka maza milta tha jin ki bazm mein
un ki qabron ka bhi ab mujh ko pata milta nahin
sirf zahir ho gaya sarmaya-e-zeb-o-safa
kya tajjub hai jo baatin ba-safa milta nahin
puKHta tabaon par hawadis ka nahin hota asar
kohsaron mein nishan-e-naqsh-e-pa milta nahin
shaiKH-sahib barahman se lakh barten dosti
we bhajan gaen to mandir se Taka milta nahin
jis pe dil aaya hai wo shirin-ada milta nahin
zindagi hai talKH jine ka maza milta nahin
log kahte hain ki bad-nami se bachna chahai
kah do be us ke jawani ka maza milta nahin
ahl-e-zahir jis qadar chahen karen bahs-o-jidal
main ye samjha hun KHudi mein to KHuda milta nahin
chal base wo din ki yaron se bhari thi anjuman
haye afsos aaj surat-ashna milta nahin
manzil-e-ishq-o-tawakkul manzil-e-ezaz hai
shah sab baste hain yan koi gada milta nahin
bar taklifon ka mujh par bar-e-ehsan se hai sahal
shukr ki ja hai agar hajat-rawa milta nahin
chandni raaten bahaar apni dikhati hain to kya
be-tire mujh ko to lutf ai mah-laqa milta nahin
ma'ni-e-dil ka kare izhaar 'akbar' kis tarah
lafz mauzun bahr-e-kashf-e-muddaa milta nahin
