khamosh nazron se husn-e-butan ki baat karen
na lab pe aai jo us dastan ki baat karen

rah-e-junun mein bhatakte kahan kahan pahunche
kahan kahan ki sunaen kahan ki baat karen

jigar ke dagh dikhane se faeda kya hai
abas hai mahz ke zor-e-zaman ki baat karen

na bhul jae zamana wafa ki qadron ko
mite jo ishq mein un ke nishan ki baat karen

jabin-e-shauq ka sajda yahan wahan kyon ho
jahan ho azmat-e-sar hum wahan ki baat karen

qadam qadam pe guzarte hain imtihan kitne
chalo ki aaj nae imtihan ki baat karen

ye yaad-e-lutf-e-bahaaran bhi kam nahin hai 'habib'
bhari khizan mein bhi kya hum khizan ki baat karen
