falak se hue hain ye paiham ishaare
zamin se nahin dur ye chand tare

munawwar hui meri sham-e-ghariban
ki yaad aa rahe hain watan ke nazare

meri zindagi hai ki hai ek tufan
ye bechain lahren ye betab dhaare

tabiat ne meri kabhi bhi na dhunde
ye sahil safine wo sae sahaare

ulajh sakta hun ab bhi tufan se sathi
ye kyon meri kashti laga di kinare

ye hamwar-o-yaksan si kya zindagi hai
na aandhi na tufan na shoale sharare

kahin chhin le mujh se piri na aa kar
ye sine ki garmi nazar ke sharare

hai bachchon ka ek khel ye zindagi bhi
hasin jo wo jite hasin wo jo haare

kabhi pyar karke kabhi pyar pa kar
jiye hum jahan mein usi ke sahaare

ye patte hain larzan wo gul dam-ba-khud
bas ek hum na samjhen khizan ke ishaare

'habib' aap duniyan ko pahchante hain
wo ye rang badle ki wo rup dhaare
