baḌhā dī ik nazar meñ tū ne kyā tauqīr patthar kī
banā kohl-ul-basar allāh re taqdīr patthar kī

asīr-e-zulf kyūñkar chhuT sakeñge qaid-e-vahshat se
ki hai har jāda-e-dasht-e-junūñ zanjīr patthar kī

ye jalva hai kunisht-o-dair meñ saan.e kī qudrat kā
ki dāva-e-ḳhudā.ī kartī hai tasvīr patthar kī

talāsh-e-rizq meñ ho āsiyā kī tarah sargardāñ
agar daanā hai tū bhī siikh le tadbīr patthar kī

batā sañg-e-jarāhat aa ke zaḳhm-e-teġh-e-abrū par
huā achchhā tire āshiq ko dī ta.azīr patthar kī

fusūn-e-chashm-e-qātil se banā huuñ sehr kā putlā
jo chhū le merī gardan ko to ho shamshīr patthar kī

shab-e-furqat meñ jo soche the karte vo shikāyat kyā
nazar karte hī un par ban ga.e tasvīr patthar kī

na niklī hai na niklegī jamī hai dil meñ jo un ke
miTāne se bhī miTtī hai kahīñ tahrīr patthar kī

sazā-e-ishq-e-mizhgān-e-butān-e-sañg-dil paa.ī
huī bārish har ik jānib se ham par tiir patthar kī

na farq aayā 'habīb'-e-sābir-o-shākir kī rāhat meñ
banā duniyā meñ qismat kā likhā tahrīr patthar kī

baDha di ek nazar mein tu ne kya tauqir patthar ki
bana kohl-ul-basar allah re taqdir patthar ki

asir-e-zulf kyunkar chhuT sakenge qaid-e-wahshat se
ki hai har jada-e-dasht-e-junun zanjir patthar ki

ye jalwa hai kunisht-o-dair mein sane ki qudrat ka
ki dawa-e-KHudai karti hai taswir patthar ki

talash-e-rizq mein ho aasiya ki tarah sargardan
agar dana hai tu bhi sikh le tadbir patthar ki

bata sang-e-jarahat aa ke zaKHm-e-tegh-e-abru par
hua achchha tere aashiq ko di tazir patthar ki

fusun-e-chashm-e-qatil se bana hun sehr ka putla
jo chhu le meri gardan ko to ho shamshir patthar ki

shab-e-furqat mein jo soche the karte wo shikayat kya
nazar karte hi un par ban gae taswir patthar ki

na nikli hai na niklegi jami hai dil mein jo un ke
miTane se bhi miTti hai kahin tahrir patthar ki

saza-e-ishq-e-mizhgan-e-butan-e-sang-dil pai
hui barish har ek jaanib se hum par tir patthar ki

na farq aaya 'habib'-e-sabir-o-shakir ki rahat mein
bana duniya mein qismat ka likha tahrir patthar ki
