chashm-e-dil par kaif hai chhaya hua
hai tasawwur mein koi aaya hua

dil mein hai har waqt ek mahfil jami
kya hua gar main kabhi tanha hua

tere qabil to nahin hai ye magar
ek dil laya hun main tuta hua

zikr phir bichhde chaman ka chhid gaya
mundamil tha zakhm-e-dil taza hua

ai chaman se aane walo kuchh kaho
mera bhi ek aashiyan tha kya hua

ab jawani ka karen kya tazkira
ek afsana sa hai bhula hua

kar raha hai dil ka matam kis liye
dil agar tuta tera achchha hua

umr guzri aur hum dekha kiye
zindagi ka karwan luta hua

thokaren kha kha ke duniya mein 'habib'
yaad aaya har sabaq bhula hua
