Each verse is a conversation between a humble servant and his Lord.

گناہوں کی عادت چھڑا میرے مولا — اردو lyrics
گناہوں کی عادت چھڑا، میرے مولا
مجھے نیک انسان بنا، میرے مولا!
میری سابقہ ہر خطا، میرے مولا!
تو رحمت سے اپنی مٹا، میرے مولا!
تو قدرت سے اپنی بدل نیکیوں سے
ہر ایک میری لغزش خطا، میرے مولا!
جو تجھ کو، جو تیرے نبی کو پسند ہے
مجھے ایسا بندہ بنا، میرے مولا!
تو مسجود میرا، میں ساجد ہوں تیرا
تو مالک، میں بندہ تیرا، میرے مولا!
تو مطلوب میرا، میں طالب ہوں تیرا
مجھے دے دے اپنی ولا، میرے مولا!
ہے “اُدعونی” فرمان قرآن میں تیرا
تو سن لے میری التجا، میرے مولا!
تو لے گا اگر عدل سے کام اپنے
میں ہوں مستحق نار کا، میرے مولا!
جو رحمت تیری شاملِ حال ہو تو
ٹھکانہ ہے جنت میرا، میرے مولا!
تجھے تو خبر ہے میں کتنا برا ہوں
تو عیبوں کو میرے چھپا، میرے مولا!
میری تا قیامت جو نسلیں ہوں، یا رب!
ہوں سب عاشقِ مصطفیٰ، میرے مولا!
نہ محتاج کر تُو جہاں میں کسی کا
مجھے مفلسی سے بچا، میرے مولا!
رُلا تو مجھے بس غمِ مصطفیٰ میں
نہ دنیا کے غم میں رُلا، میرے مولا!
جنہوں نے کہا ہے دعاؤں کا مجھ سے
تو کر دے سبھی کا بھلا، میرے مولا!
ہیں کعبے پہ نظریں عُبیدِ رضا کی
ہو مقبول ہر ایک دعا، میرے مولا!

Jinhon ne kaha hai duaon ka mujhse
Tu karde sabhi ka bhala, mere Maula!
Hain Ka’be pe nazrein ‘Ubaid-e-Raza ki
Ho maqbool har ik du’aa, mere Maula!

Meaning and Background
The naat “Gunahon Ki Aadat Chhuda Mere Maula” is a profound spiritual supplication that reflects the core of Islamic repentance (tawbah). Let’s explore its deeper meaning:
1. The Theme of Repentance
The opening verse immediately strikes at the heart of human struggle — bad habits and sins. The poet does not ask for mere forgiveness but for a complete transformation: “Rid me of the habit of sins.” This reflects the Islamic concept that true repentance is not just saying “I’m sorry” but actively changing one’s lifestyle.
2. Balancing Hope and Fear (Khauf and Raja)
Verse 8 beautifully balances Allah’s justice and mercy: “If You deal with justice, I deserve the Fire. But if Your mercy embraces my state, then Paradise is my destination.” This is classic Islamic spirituality — a believer walks between fear of Allah’s justice and hope in His infinite mercy.
3. Quranic Reference (Ud’ooni)
Verse 7 directly references the Quranic verse: “And your Lord says: Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” (Surah Ghafir 40:60). This makes the naat deeply rooted in Islamic scripture and reminds the listener that Allah Himself has invited us to make dua.
4. Love of the Prophet ﷺ
The poet asks that all his descendants remain lovers of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, showing that true faith is not just personal but generational. The longing to cry in the love of Mustafa ﷺ rather than in worldly grief shows profound spiritual prioritization.
5. Humility and Self-Awareness
Throughout the naat, the poet displays remarkable humility: “You already know how bad I am” and “Hide my faults.” This vulnerability is what makes the naat so powerful — it is the honest cry of a soul that knows its shortcomings but refuses to lose hope in Allah’s mercy.
6. Concern for Others
In the later verses, the poet does not only pray for himself but also for those who have asked him for prayers, showing selflessness and community spirit — a beautiful Islamic value.
