chaman chaman se gulon ka yahi payam aaya
wahi hasin hai jo duniya mein shad-kaam aaya

meri taraf ko uthi yun nigah saqi ki
ki jaise daur mein labrez mai ka jam aaya

khud un ke rukh se hua un ke dil ka haal ayan
jo bhule-bisre kabhi lab pe mera nam aaya

badha ke hath zamane ne us se chhin liya
jo ek lahja bhi lab tak kisi ke jam aaya

sada-e-pir-e-mughan thi ye bazm-e-rindan mein
hai is ka mai-kada qabze mein jis ke jam aaya

harim-e-naz se aa to gaya hun main lekin
pukarta hua koi har ek gam aaya

main gum hi tha abhi tarikiyon mein mazi ki
ki subh-e-nau ki kiran ka mujhe salam aaya

khayal-e-yar ki mad-hoshiyan maaz-allah
meri nazar na uthi jab wo su-e-baam aaya

khirad ki sari gai pukhta-kariyan be-kar
bas ek shauq ka sauda-e-kham kaam aaya

'habib' dad-e-sukhan mil gai mujhe us roz
pasand-e-taba jab un ko mera kalam aaya
