shab ko naala jo mirā tā-ba-falak jaatā hai
sub.h ko mahr ke parde meñ chamak jaatā hai

apnā paimāna-e-dil hai mai-e-ġham se labrez
buuñd se bāda-e-ishrat kī chhalak jaatā hai

kamar-e-yār kī likhtā huuñ nazākat jis dam
ḳhāma sau martaba kāġhaz pe lachak jaatā hai

yaad aatī hai kabhī sohbat-e-ahbāb agar
ek sho.ala hai ki siine meñ bhaḌak jaatā hai

chāñdnī chhuptī hai takyoñ ke tale ā.ankhoñ meñ ḳhvāb
sone meñ un kā dupaTTa jo sarak jaatā hai

vasl ke zikr pe kahte haiñ bigaḌ kar dekho
aisī bātoñ se kaleja mirā pak jaatā hai

dil liyā hai to ḳhudā ke liye kah do sāhab
muskurāte ho tumhīñ par mirā shak jaatā hai

pyaar karne ko jo baḌhtā huuñ to kahte haiñ haTo
nashshe meñ aa ke koī aisā bahak jaatā hai

sāqiyā jaam pilā siiḳh se utrā hai kabāb
der achchhī nahīñ ab lutf-e-gazak jaatā hai

lab-e-ḳhandāñ se na deñ kis liye qātil ko duā
roz zaḳhmoñ pe namak aa ke chhiḌak jaatā hai

shefta shāhid-e-ra.anā-e-suḳhan kā huuñ 'habīb'
na.e andāz pe dil merā phaḌak jaatā hai

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
