hum ko dars-e-ulfat-o-mehr-o-wafa dete hue
khud ko parkha aap ne ye mashwara dete hue

hai bahut bezar apni zindagi se wo magar
ja raha hai sab ko jine ki dua dete hue

faisla ek hai gunah ka jab kiya us ne ghalat
kanp uttha hath munsif ka saza dete hue

parwarish hoti hai bachche ki ye us ki shan hai
kis ne dekha batn-e-madar mein ghiza dete hue

chir kar dariya ka sina be-khatar utre hain par
hadse guzre hain hum ko rasta dete hue

bap ke aansu na thamte the ajab manzar tha wo
qabr par bete ki apne fatiha dete hue

hil nahin sakte yahan se chahe madfan hi bane
hum nahin wo jo chale jaen sada dete hue

main ki shashdar rah gaya saqi ki harakat dekh kar
jam laya aur aage badh gaya dete hue

jab tumhein fursat mile to shauq se aao 'habib'
hanste hanste kah diya us ne pata dete hue
