जो तुं मनाने निकले

बनता नहि ये दुनिया लोग बनाने निकले,
मानता कौन किसेहै जो तुं मनाने निकले!
              ऐ चांद तारों रमादानके रात खिल गयाहै,
              सुफी सुखनवरहै दिवाने फरमाने निकले!
तेरे अर्जीके हम कलाम-ए-इश्क लिख्तेहै,
मेरी मेहबुबा तुं रुठबैठे हम मनाने निकले!
              हर किसिका दरबाजा बन्द रोके मोहब्बत,
              इश्कके नाम बदनाम करने जमाने निकले!
क्या सिखाना किस्को सबका दिल रोशन,
जल्ते दिये उजालेकी लौव बुझाने निकले!
              आजके चिराग रोशनी धिमी आँचमे चाय,
              उबला मनसे जानेमन सब पिलाने निकले!

Never does the world get straight; man works to put it together. Who listens to who here, he strives to make them do. Oh, moon and stars of the skies, the night of Ramazan has enlightened in tunes of Sufi poets.

Oh, yeah! Sweetheart, I write verses of your choices since I don’t know why you are at crush, and I need solace. All I see are closed doors of heart-dove, and the world seems crazy about defaming the name of love.

Who to teach what here, all are as if know-all. I see them going to put the burning lamp off lit in the light of day. Today, in preparing tea of bright shine with full heart cooked in slow, dim heat for long!

Sweetheart, come with whole heart. I have brought it to you for only you to drink together we two!
