shab ko nala jo mera ta-ba-falak jata hai
subh ko mahr ke parde mein chamak jata hai

apna paimana-e-dil hai mai-e-gham se labrez
bund se baada-e-ishrat ki chhalak jata hai

kamar-e-yar ki likhta hun nazakat jis dam
khama sau martaba kaghaz pe lachak jata hai

yaad aati hai kabhi sohbat-e-ahbab agar
ek shoala hai ki sine mein bhadak jata hai

chandni chhupti hai takyon ke tale aaankhon mein khwab
sone mein un ka dupatta jo sarak jata hai

wasl ke zikr pe kahte hain bigad kar dekho
aisi baaton se kaleja mera pak jata hai

dil liya hai to khuda ke liye kah do sahab
muskuraate ho tumhin par mera shak jata hai

pyar karne ko jo badhta hun to kahte hain hato
nashshe mein aa ke koi aisa bahak jata hai

saqiya jam pila sikh se utra hai kabab
der achchhi nahin ab lutf-e-gazak jata hai

lab-e-khandan se na den kis liye qatil ko dua
roz zakhmon pe namak aa ke chhidak jata hai

shefta shahid-e-rana-e-sukhan ka hun 'habib'
nae andaz pe dil mera phadak jata hai
