dard badh kar dawa na ho jae
zindagi be-maza na ho jae

rokta hun mizha pe main aansu
gir ke dil ki sada na ho jae

nigah-e-iltifat ke sadqe
dil ki dhadkan siwa na ho jae

roz marta hun roz jita hun
tera wada wafa na ho jae

aap se shikwa ai maaz-allah
lab tak aa kar dua na ho jae

wo kisi kaam ka nahin jo dil
dard se aashna na ho jae

sina aksar hai soz se khali
zist be-muddaa na ho jae

uf ye tahzib-e-nau ki khun-khwari
khun-e-insan rawa na ho jae

dil-lagi dil-lagi mein dekh 'habib'
ishq ki ibtida na ho jae
