duniya mein hun duniya ka talabgar nahin hun
duniyā meñ huuñ duniyā kā talabgār nahīñ huuñ
bāzār se guzrā huuñ ḳharīdār nahīñ huuñ
zinda huuñ magar ziist kī lazzat nahīñ baaqī
har-chand ki huuñ hosh meñ hushyār nahīñ huuñ
is ḳhāna-e-hastī se guzar jā.ūñgā be-laus
saaya huuñ faqat naqsh-ba-dīvār nahīñ huuñ
afsurda huuñ ibrat se davā kī nahīñ hājat
ġham kā mujhe ye zo.af hai bīmār nahīñ huuñ
vo gul huuñ ḳhizāñ ne jise barbād kiyā hai
uljhūñ kisī dāman se maiñ vo ḳhaar nahīñ huuñ
yā rab mujhe mahfūz rakh us but ke sitam se
maiñ us kī ināyat kā talabgār nahīñ huuñ
go dāva-e-taqvā nahīñ dargāh-e-ḳhudā meñ
but jis se hoñ ḳhush aisā gunahgār nahīñ huuñ
afsurdagī o zo.af kī kuchh had nahīñ 'akbar'
kāfir ke muqābil meñ bhī dīñ-dār nahīñ huuñ
duniya mein hun duniya ka talabgar nahin hun
bazar se guzra hun KHaridar nahin hun
zinda hun magar zist ki lazzat nahin baqi
har-chand ki hun hosh mein hushyar nahin hun
is KHana-e-hasti se guzar jaunga be-laus
saya hun faqat naqsh-ba-diwar nahin hun
afsurda hun ibrat se dawa ki nahin hajat
gham ka mujhe ye zoaf hai bimar nahin hun
wo gul hun KHizan ne jise barbaad kiya hai
uljhun kisi daman se main wo KHar nahin hun
ya rab mujhe mahfuz rakh us but ke sitam se
main us ki inayat ka talabgar nahin hun
go dawa-e-taqwa nahin dargah-e-KHuda mein
but jis se hon KHush aisa gunahgar nahin hun
afsurdagi o zoaf ki kuchh had nahin 'akbar'
kafir ke muqabil mein bhi din-dar nahin hun
