ye meri ghazlen ye meri nazmen
jo main ne tujh se bichhad ke likkhin

unhen koi chhapta nahin hai
main jab bhi tere firaq ka nauha likh ke laun

sukhan-shanason ko mera tarz-e-amal na bhae
teri mohabbat ka dard ho jis ghazal mein shamil

kisi ko aisi ghazal na bhae
jawab aae

ki jaane walon ko yaad karne se koi bhi faeda nahin hai
main teri yaadon ko gundh kar apni hasraton mein

tarashta hun agar tera dil-nawaz paikar
wo log dete hain mujh ko but-parasti ka tana

jude hain jin ke dilon mein patthar
wahi sanam-gar

karen nasihat buton pe marne se koi bhi faeda nahin hai
main zikr karta hun jab wasl ki ruton ka

to shahr ke sare parsa mujh ko tokte hain
khilaf-e-akhlaq jin ke nazdik hai mohabbat

wafaon se mujh ko rokte hain
kachokte hain

ki apni izzat pe nam dharne se koi bhi faeda nahin hai
agar kabhi main judaiyon ka sabab bataun

to meri nazmon se khauf khane lagen jaride
samaj par ehtijaj karne ka haq jo mangon

koi ye kah kar zaban si de
likho qaside

ki khud ko yun be-lagam karne se koi bhi faeda nahin hai
isi liye to habib mere

ye meri ghazlen ye meri nazmen
jo main ne tujh se bichhad ke likhin

unhen koi chhapta nahin hai
