Hub e nabi zaroor hai ishq e khuda ke baad
Naat e rasool farz hai hamd e khuda ke baad
Dono jahaan mein jinka nahi hamsaro adeel
Afzal hain sabse zaat e muhammad khuda ke baad
Bina ishq na manzil hath aawe
Bina ishq na banndiyan baatan ne
Je ishq nahi kamli wale da Maqbool na baang salaadan ne
Namaazan padhi ja azaane diye ja
Je ishq nahi kamli waleya
Ehna lambiyan namaazan nu ki karna
Je ishq nahi kamli waleya
Jannat mein tu toh kya tera saaya na jaayega
Je ishq nahi kamli waleya
Assi paap karan ton rukde nahi
Oh maaf karan ton ukde
Sarkaar ton main sadke jaawan
Sarkaar diyan kya baatan ne
Us sohneyan de sohne ton
Sadke jaawan main
Mukh chand badar shah shaani e
Maththe chamke laat noorani e
Kaali zulf te ankh mastaani e
Makhbool ankhi in mad bhariyan
Aisa khalik ne khalkeya yaar apna
Qayanaat wich jehda jawaab koi nahi
Ohde shaan te arzz di hadd koi nahi
Naale tool da yaaron hisaab koi nahi
Naale rabb ne keha rasoolan ch khada karke
Iston baad mera intekhaab koi nahi
Aisa yaar naal pyar sarkaar kita
Reha aap vi zer e naqaab koi nahi
Kambal posh kareem de karam baajon
Buha rehmatan da kadde khulda nahi
Ohdi gali de khaaran ch maza jehda
Oh te maza phirdous de phul da nahi
Qayanaat de takhtan ch takht koi
Ohdi paak chatayi de tul da nahi
Takht ki sardaar e arsh e aazam
Ohde jode di khaak de mul da nahi
Mere kol te mera kujh vi nahi
Sab tera e ki nazar karan
Beamal haan meri jholi vich
Bas hanjuan diyan saugaatan ne
Aj jaagan bhaag je deed howe
Door wasendeya shaahan de shaah
Sunn lai meri zaari
Apne roze paak de utte
Sadd mainu ik waari
Yaad teri ne kamli kita
Kamli waleya kol bula
Sadka hassan hussain da shaaha
Apna roza paak dikha
Arab jareeb ton sadke jaawan
Jithe sone ne talliyan laayiyan
Palkan naal bahariyan dewan
Karan khaak diyan surmaayiyan
Kadam kadam te sajde dewan
Jithe bakriyan yaar charayiyaan
Loon loon fazal duhayiyaan dewe
Jyun arabi terian layiyaan
Kamli waleya karam kamaake
Sunn lai meri zaari nu
Tere baajon zakhm jigar de
Kisnu hor dikhaawan main
Je ik waari karam kamaake
Sadd lai sohna roze te
Waar deyan jind jaan sajjan ton
Pher na mud ke aawan main
Aj jaagan bhaag je deed howe
Muk jaaye vichchoda eid howe
Oh gumbad izra jaa vekhan
Jithe noor diyan barsaatan ne

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's song "Bina Ishq Na Manzil Hath Aawe" are imbued with the themes of devotion, love, and spiritual transcendence. In the opening lines of the song, the poet declares that love for the Prophet is indeed necessary after the love for God. This idea is further expanded upon in the following lines where the superiority of the Prophet Muhammad over all creation is asserted. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Bina ishq na manzil hath aawe" which signifies that without love, one cannot attain their destination. Love is a necessary prerequisite for spiritual accomplishment.
The following verses also emphasize the importance of love in one's spiritual journey. The poet references the five daily prayers and the call to prayer (Azaan) as examples of devotion to God. However, he asserts that these practices are meaningless without the love for the divine. In other words, one cannot pray or perform religious duties mechanically; true devotion requires love.
The lyrics also touch upon the themes of sin and forgiveness. The poet acknowledges the inevitability of sin but asserts that one should not be discouraged by their shortcomings. Instead, they should seek forgiveness from the Prophet Muhammad and make offerings to him as a means of seeking redemption.
Overall, the lyrics convey the message that love is a necessary and transformative force in one's spiritual journey. Without love, one cannot hope to attain enlightenment or transcendence.
