Habib Jalib

tum se pahle vo jo ik shakhs yahan takht-nashin tha
us ko bhi apne khuda hone pe itna hi yaqin tha

log Darte hain dushmani se tiri
ham tiri dosti se Darte hain

duniya to chahti hai yunhi fasle rahen
duniya ke mashvaron pe na ja us gali men chal

pa sakenge na umr bhar jis ko
justuju aaj bhi usi ki hai

kuchh aur bhi hain kaam hamen ai gham-e-janan
kab tak koi uljhi hui zulfon ko sanvare

jin ki yadon se raushan hain meri ankhen
dil kahta hai un ko bhi main yaad aata huun

kuchh aur bhi hain kaam hamein ai gham-e-jaanaan
kab tak koi uljhi hui zulfon ko sanvaare

sher se shaairi se Darte hain
kam-nazar raushni se Darte hain

duniyaa to chaahti hai yunhi faasle rahein
duniyaa ke mashvaron pe na jaa us gali mein chal

aane vaali barkhaa dekhein kyaa dikhlaae aankhon ko
ye barkhaa barsaate din to bin piritam be-kaar gae

kuchh log khayaalon se chale jaaein to soein
biite hue din raat na yaad aaein to soein

ik tiri yaad se ik tere tasavvur se hamein
aa gae yaad kai naam hasinaaon ke
