tire hi pyaar ne kyaa dil ko vusatein bakhshin — JaiKrishn Chaudhry Habeeb

bichhDe mujh se is tarah vo zindagi ke ham-safar
bujh gae hon jalte jalte jaise raste ke charaagh

'habib' khud hi banaaeinge roz-o-shab apne
huaa hi kyaa jo zamaane ne saath chhoD diyaa

har ik fasurda qalb pe chhaai shaguftagi
jab chhiD gai hai bazm mein us gul-badan ki baat

baDhti gaiin jafaaein jahaan raah-e-shauq mein
josh-e-junun baDhaataa gayaa tez-tar mujhe

paa ke ik teraa tabassum muskuraai kaaenaat
jhuum uTThaa vo bhi dil jiine se jo bezaar thaa

nikhat vahi surur vahi dil-kashi vahi
aamad ye aap ki hai ki jhonkaa bahaar kaa

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
