un ki khwahish aur hai apni tamanna aur hai
aankh se zahir hai kuchh dil ka taqaza aur hai

khub hain kya khub hain ahl-e-siyasat wah wah
dil mein un ke bughz hai lekin dikhawa aur hai

dastaras mein apni rakhta hai wo tufan-e-hasad
hum ubharte hain to wo hum ko dabaata aur hai

tu ki ghaddar-e-chaman hai main wafadar-e-chaman
mera maqsad aur hai tera irada aur hai

dekhna hai tir lagta hai ki hota hai khata
rukh kaman ka us taraf lekin nishana aur hai

ehtiraman har koi sar par bithata tha hamein
wo zamana aur tha ab ye zamana aur hai

is tazad-e-dil-nashin ko kuchh samajhte hain hamin
dil milata aur hai aankhen dikhata aur hai

dekh surat ko meri hairat hai kahta hai 'habib'
wo to aisa tha nahin ye koi lagta aur hai
