sanam se mohabbat bhi bezariyan bhi
junun-koshiyan bhi hain hoshyariyan bhi

mohabbat ki duniya mohabbat ka aalam
ki hushyariyan bhi hain sarshaariyan bhi

kabhi sirf patthar kabhi dewta hai
hain khuddariyan bhi parastariyan bhi

mohabbat ke raaz-o-niyaz allah allah
hain shikwe gile bhi wafadariyan bhi

hai pur-lutf manzil to pur-khar rahen
ki aasaniyan bhi hain dushwariyan bhi

jarahat bhi jaan-bakhsh marham bhi dil-kash
dil-azariyan bhi hain gham-khwariyan bhi

zara sinf-e-nazuk ki himmat to dekho
hain kamzoriyan bhi jigar-dariyan bhi

hai wadon mein lazzat bahanon mein jiddat
wafaen bhi hain aur jafa-kariyan bhi

mohabbat khata bhi hai uzr-e-khata bhi
pashemaniyan bhi hain lachaariyan bhi

'habib' aadmi bhi ajab chistan hai
mohabbat bhi hai aur siyah-kariyan bhi
