pyar un ko dekh kar be-ikhtiyar aa hi gaya
wo jo aae dil mera diwana-war aa hi gaya

dil mere pahlu se jaega na aata tha yaqin
ek nazar dekha unhen to e'tibar aa hi gaya

ab gaya un ka tasawwur ji gaya bimar-e-ishq
shiddat-e-gham mein bhi chehre par nikhaar aa hi gaya

bujhte bujhte jal uthe phir dida-o-dil ke charagh
sard sine mein umidon ka sharar aa hi gaya

aaiye dohraen phir ulfat ki rangin dastan
phir wahi manzil wahi ahd-e-bahaar aa hi gaya

bazm mein aamad hui hai kis taghaful-kesh ki
tishnagi-e-shauq ke dil ko qarar aa hi gaya

zikr-e-dard-e-dil pe wo bigda kiye lekin 'habib'
lab pe iqrar-e-mohabbat ek bar aa hi gaya
