kisi ki jubba-sai se kabhi ghista nahin patthar
wo chaukhat mom ki chaukhat hai ya meri jabin patthar

khula ab rakhte hain pahlu main pinhan naznin patthar
na tha malum hain qalb-e-butan-o-mah-jabin patthar

bithaya khatam-e-izzat pe tere nam-e-nami ne
wagarna hai ye zahir tha haqiqat mein nagin patthar

dikhae phir na kyun tasir apni jazb-e-ruhani
yaqin ho jae jab hajat-rawa hai bil-yaqin patthar

talash-e-yar mein kya khar daman-gir himmat hon
hue nadim mile jab sadd-e-rah ban kar kahin patthar

jo main ai koh-kan dun jaan-e-shirin ishq-e-shirin mein
to dikhlae bajae shir ju-e-abgin patthar

gira dun faiz-e-eajaz-e-nubuwwat se wo momin hun
chhupaen phir mukhalif gar myan-e-astin patthar

pas-e-murdan rahe qalb-o-jigar mein gar yahi sozish
to lauh-e-sang-e-marmar hogi az khud aatishin patthar

ye kahta hai kisi na-mehrban ka mehrban hona
pasijenge teri garmi se aah-e-atishin patthar

girin har sang-dil par bijliyan aisi hawadis ki
ki dete hain gawahi teri aah-e-atishin patthar

'habib' aae kahan se tazgi nakhl-e-mazamin mein
jahan tak dekhiye hai yak-qalam ye gul-zamin patthar
