Aaj Un Ka Mizaj Barham Hai

Jaikrishn Chaudhry Habeeb

aaj un ka mizaj barham hai

ya muqaddar men ek naya ḳham hai

chalte chalte main thak gaya lekin

raat baaqi hai raushni kam hai

koi tanha.i si hai tanha.i

char-su ek hu ka aalam hai

saaqi chup-chap mai-kada suuna

saaz ki lai bhi aaj maddham hai

daagh dil ke dikha.un main kis ko

apna apna har ek ka gham hai

dil ke a.ine men jahan dekha

goya dil ek saghar-e-jam hai

choli daman ka saath hai un ka

zindagi hai jahan vahan gham hai

ashiyane ka ab ḳhuda-hafiz

baghban ka mizaj barham hai

kaun ḳhush-baḳht aaj yaad aaya

aankh kyon ye tumhari pur-nam hai

aate honge ‘habib’ vo shayad

dard pahle se aaj kuchh kam hai
