kabhi hamare liye tegh-e-be-niyam karo
jo dastan hai tumhaari use tamam karo

khulus aur mohabbat se nek kaam karo
ye mai-kade hai sabhi ko sharik-e-jam karo

jo mai-kade se nikale gae to kya hoga
main mohtasib hun yahan mera ehtiram karo

tumhaare qurb se dil ko sukun milta hai
mere qarib hi baitho na kuchh kalam karo

wo ek sham ki jis par nisar subh-e-azal
wo ek sham kabhi tum hamare nam karo

kahan najat ki surat hai qaid-e-hasti se
kisi tarah isi zindan mein subh-o-sham karo

'habab' hasti-e-mauhum ka bharosa kya
musafiron ki tarah bas yahan qayam karo
