tariq-e-ishq mein mujhko koi kaamil nahin milta
tarīq-e-ishq meñ mujh ko koī kāmil nahīñ miltā
ga.e farhād o majnūñ ab kisī se dil nahīñ miltā
bharī hai anjuman lekin kisī se dil nahīñ miltā
hamīñ meñ aa gayā kuchh naqs yā kāmil nahīñ miltā
purānī raushnī meñ aur na.ī meñ farq itnā hai
use kashtī nahīñ miltī ise sāhil nahīñ miltā
pahuñchnā daad ko mazlūm kā mushkil hī hotā hai
kabhī qaazī nahīñ milte kabhī qātil nahīñ miltā
harīfoñ par ḳhazāne haiñ khule yaañ hijr-e-gesū hai
vahāñ pe bil hai aur yaañ saañp kā bhī bil nahīñ miltā
ye husn o ishq hī kā kaam hai shubah kareñ kis par
mizāj un kā nahīñ miltā hamārā dil nahīñ miltā
chhupā hai siina o ruḳh dil-sitāñ hāthoñ se karvaT meñ
mujhe sote meñ bhī vo husn se ġhāfil nahīñ miltā
havās-o-hosh gum haiñ bahr-e-irfān-e-ilāhī meñ
yahī dariyā hai jis meñ mauj ko sāhil nahīñ miltā
kitāb-e-dil mujhe kaafī hai 'akbar' dars-e-hikmat ko
maiñ spencer se mustaġhnī huuñ mujh se mil nahīñ miltā
tariq-e-ishq mein mujh ko koi kaamil nahin milta
gae farhad o majnun ab kisi se dil nahin milta
bhari hai anjuman lekin kisi se dil nahin milta
hamin mein aa gaya kuchh naqs ya kaamil nahin milta
purani raushni mein aur nai mein farq itna hai
use kashti nahin milti ise sahil nahin milta
pahunchna dad ko mazlum ka mushkil hi hota hai
kabhi qazi nahin milte kabhi qatil nahin milta
harifon par KHazane hain khule yan hijr-e-gesu hai
wahan pe bil hai aur yan sanp ka bhi bil nahin milta
ye husn o ishq hi ka kaam hai shubah karen kis par
mizaj un ka nahin milta hamara dil nahin milta
chhupa hai sina o ruKH dil-sitan hathon se karwaT mein
mujhe sote mein bhi wo husn se ghafil nahin milta
hawas-o-hosh gum hain bahr-e-irfan-e-ilahi mein
yahi dariya hai jis mein mauj ko sahil nahin milta
kitab-e-dil mujhe kafi hai 'akbar' dars-e-hikmat ko
main spencer se mustaghni hun mujh se mil nahin milta
