mast-e-sharab-e-naz par shikwe ka kuchh asar nahin
meri khabar ho kya unhen apni jinhen khabar nahin

gardish-e-rozgar se khauf mujhe hua hi kab
sail-e-alam se bah sake pahlu mein wo jigar nahin

god mein hadsat ke pal ke hi main jawan hua
wo nahin zindagi qubul jis mein koi khatar nahin

manzil-e-ishq mein mujhe aae to sakht marhale
badhna nahin hai sahl agar rukna bhi sahl-tar nahin

main hun yahan bhi be-qarar tha main wahan bhi be-qarar
dil ki dawa udhar na thi dil ki dawa idhar nahin

ghir ke ghata uthi abhi chhat bhi gai abhi 'habib'
meri shab-e-firaq ki dahr mein kya sahar nahin
