Habib Jalib
daraḳht suukh ga.e ruk ga.e nadi naale
ye kis nagar ko ravana hue hain ghar vaale
kahaniyan jo sunate the ahd-e-rafta ki
nishan vo gardish-e-ayyam ne miTa Daale
main shahr shahr phira huun isi tamanna men
kisi ko apna kahun koi mujh ko apna le
sada na de kisi mahtab ko andheron men
laga na de ye zamana zaban par taale
koi kiran hai yahan to koi kiran hai vahan
dil o nigah ne kis darja rog hain paale
hamin pe un ki nazar hai hamin pe un ka karam
ye aur baat yahan aur bhi hain dil vaale
kuchh aur tujh pe khulengi haqiqaten ‘jalib’
jo ho sake to kisi ka fareb bhi kha le
