hai nigahban rukh ka khal-ru-e-dost
hafiz-e-quran hua hindu-e-dost

hum na hon patthar ho hum pahlu-e-dost
aaina lute bahaar-e-ru-e-dost

phir gai jab nargis-e-jadu-e-dost
sab musalman ho gae hindu-e-dost

bha gai hai dil ko aisi khu-e-dost
aati hai har gul se mujh ko bu-e-dost

hai khayal-e-ariz-o-gesu-e-dost
gah musalman hun kabhi hindu-e-dost

sau balaen aa gain ushshaq par
jab kamar tak aa gae gesu-e-dost

haddiyan meri na khana ai huma
dant rakhte hain sagan-e-ku-e-dost

aag bhadke kyun na pahlu mein mere
ghair hain wan aaj hum pahlu-e-dost

asl ye hai naql-e-mehrab-e-haram
sajda wajib hai tah-e-abru-e-dost

tegh-e-abru par kate lakhon gale
ban gaya ganj-e-shahidan ku-e-dost

dil hua maftun nigah-e-yar ka
sher-afgan hain magar aahu-e-dost

baad-e-murdan qabr mein aathon pahar
aaega mujh ko khayal-e-ru-e-dost

phir raha hai aaj putli ki tarah
meri aankhon mein qad-e-dil-ju-e-dost

hai khayal-e-khal-e-mushkin raat din
dil ko mere jaan lo mushku-e-dost

ab wahi sar hai ki takraata hun main
wasl mein ye tha sar-e-zanu-e-dost

kya koi aafat abhi baqi hai aur
le chala hai dil mujhe phir su-e-dost

le udi be-sakhta dil ko mere
aa gai jis dam hawa-e-ku-e-dost

rang-e-ulfat se mita zang-e-dui
ho gai hai mujh mein paida bu-e-dost

ghairat-e-mansur hun main ai 'habib'
har ghadi hun sarf-e-ha-o-hu-e-dost
