shab ko nala jo mera ta-ba-falak jata hai

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'la hai ki siine meñ bhaḌak jaatā hai

chāñdnī chhuptī hai takyoñ ke tale āñkhoñ 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 du'ā

roz zaḳhmoñ pe namak aa ke chhiḌak jaatā hai

shefta shāhid-e-rā.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 sho'la hai ki sine mein bhaDak jata hai

chandni chhupti hai takyon ke tale aankhon 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 du'a

roz zaKHmon pe namak aa ke chhiDak jata hai

shefta shahid-e-raana-e-suKHan ka hun 'habib'

nae andaz pe dil mera phaDak jata hai
