dil mein gham ki kani nahin hoti
zindagi zindagi nahin hoti

sirf honton pe jo bikhar jae
wo hansi to hansi nahin hoti

dil to rota hai khun ke aansu
aankh mein go nami nahin hoti

garche har dam wo pas rahte hain
hasraton mein kami nahin hoti

tere qadmon pe jis ka dam nikle
is se badh kar khushi nahin hoti

tere uthte hi bazm-e-rindan se
dur tak raushni nahin hoti

ek tahi-jam aur ek sarshaar
yun to saqi-gari nahin hoti

dil-e-ashiq hai pur-bahaar 'habib'
yan khizan hi kabhi nahin hoti
