dil se dil hi na mile jab to bane baat hi kya
ek naya rang na ubhre to mulaqat hi kya

zindagi zinda ho rakhshanda-o-painda bhi ho
chand sanson se mili jaan ki saughat hi kya

apne aslaf ke ehsan bhula kar un ko
baad-az-marg diye bhi to khitabaat hi kya

kam se kam dijiye ek bar to mauqa hum ko
phul sahra mein na khil jaen to phir baat hi kya

khun-e-dil de ke kiya un ke chaman ko shadab
phir bhi kahte hain hamein aap ki auqat hi kya

hirs ki aag mein dulhan ko jala dete hain
aise jalladon ki auqat hi kya zat hi kya

uf ye barsat ki bah jaen gharibon ke makan
khun rulwae jo barsat wo barsat hi kya

qalb par naqsh na ban kar jo ubhar aaen 'habib'
aise ashaar hi kya aise khayalat hi kya
