aql par patthar pade ulfat mein diwana hua
dil jo ek muddat se apna tha wo begana hua

kah gaya jo ji mein aaya aisa diwana hua
bund mein kam-zarf ka labrez paimana hua

sachchi baaton mein bhi hota hai qayamat ka asar
tazkira mera ajab dilchasp afsana hua

bad-numa samjha gaya paiwand-e-istighna-o-hirs
nang dalq-e-faqr-e-kashkol-e-gadayana hua

rang-e-khullat se dil-e-shaida muraqqa ban gaya
ye khuda ka ghar bhi is surat se but-khana hua

mukhrib-e-buniyaad-e-asaish hai raftar-e-jahan
bastiyan ujdin kabhi aabaad virana hua

jaan hai mol us ka ai ishq-e-jawani jaan le
naqd husn-e-yusuf-sani ka baiana hua

tira-bakhti ki bala se yun nikalna chahiye
jis tarah suljha ke zulfon ko alag shana hua

jazb-e-dil ye hai ise kahte hain baatin ki kashish
un ke partaw se munawwar mera kashana hua

kya shikayat us ki sahab apna apna rang hai
ghair hain hum tum se jab ghairon se yarana hua

mil gae donon mein thi jalne ki quwwat ek san
mail-e-jinsiyyat se juzw-e-shama parwana hua

us ki shan-e-alam-arai pe ki jis dam nazar
gosha-e-uzlat mera darbar-e-shahana hua

qalib-e-khaki mein saqi tu ne phunki hai ye ruh
qulqul-e-mina se paida shor-e-mastana hua

khub hi rang-e-jawani sheb ne khoya 'habib'
mahw dil se bhi khayal-e-ru-e-jaanana hua
