dekh lo tum KHu-e-atish ai qamar shishe mein hai

dekh lo tum ḳhū-e-ātish ai qamar shīshe meñ hai

aks dāġh-e-mahr kā itnā asar shīshe meñ hai

log kahte haiñ tire ruḳhsār-e-tābāñ dekh kar

sham.a hai fānūs meñ yā āb-e-zar shīshe meñ hai

raat din rahtī hai niyyat bāda-e-gul-rañg meñ

ye parī vo hai ki jo āThoñ pahar shīshe meñ hai

sā.ad-e-sīmīñ se tere us ko kyā nisbat bhalā

tauba tauba kab latāfat is qadar shīshe meñ hai

hotī hai ġharq-e-araq kyuuñ tū sivā.e bū-e-gul

aur kyā ai bulbul-e-shorīda-sar shīshe meñ hai

mai-kada terā rahe ābād ḳhum kī ḳhair ho

haañ pilā de mujh ko saaqī jis qadar shīshe meñ hai

ḳhaak se merī bhalā kyā vaqt kā ho imtiyāz

har ghaḌī ban kar bagūlā muntashar shīshe meñ hai

ye gumāñ hotā hai aks-e-mahr-e-sahbā dekh kar

dāġh-e-ulfat ko liye ḳhūn-e-jigar shīshe meñ hai

hazrat-e-vā.iz na aisā vaqt haath aa.egā phir

sab haiñ be-ḳhud tum bhī pī lo kuchh agar shīshe meñ hai

khiñch sake hargiz musavvir se na timsāl-e-adam

dekh lo tasvīr-e-jānāñ tā-kamar shīshe meñ hai

thoḌī thoḌī raah meñ pī leñge gar kam hai to kyā

duur hai mai-ḳhāna ye zād-e-safar shīshe meñ hai

mai pilā kar mujh se kahte haiñ vo ho kar be-hijāb

chaḌh ga.ī ā.ankhoñ pe jab ainak nazar shīshe meñ hai

kyuuñ na zor-e-tab.a sab ahbāb dikhlā.eñ 'habīb'

imtihān-e-husn nazm-e-yak-digar shīshe meñ hai

dekh lo tum KHu-e-atish ai qamar shishe mein hai

aks dagh-e-mahr ka itna asar shishe mein hai

log kahte hain tere ruKHsar-e-taban dekh kar

shama hai fanus mein ya aab-e-zar shishe mein hai

raat din rahti hai niyyat baada-e-gul-rang mein

ye pari wo hai ki jo aaThon pahar shishe mein hai

saad-e-simin se tere us ko kya nisbat bhala

tauba tauba kab latafat is qadar shishe mein hai

hoti hai gharq-e-araq kyun tu siwae bu-e-gul

aur kya ai bulbul-e-shorida-sar shishe mein hai

mai-kada tera rahe aabaad KHum ki KHair ho

han pila de mujh ko saqi jis qadar shishe mein hai

KHak se meri bhala kya waqt ka ho imtiyaz

har ghaDi ban kar bagula muntashar shishe mein hai

ye guman hota hai aks-e-mahr-e-sahba dekh kar

dagh-e-ulfat ko liye KHun-e-jigar shishe mein hai

hazrat-e-waiz na aisa waqt hath aaega phir

sab hain be-KHud tum bhi pi lo kuchh agar shishe mein hai

khinch sake hargiz musawwir se na timsal-e-adam

dekh lo taswir-e-jaanan ta-kamar shishe mein hai

thoDi thoDi rah mein pi lenge gar kam hai to kya

dur hai mai-KHana ye zad-e-safar shishe mein hai

mai pila kar mujh se kahte hain wo ho kar be-hijab

chaDh gai aaankhon pe jab ainak nazar shishe mein hai

kyun na zor-e-taba sab ahbab dikhlaen 'habib'

imtihan-e-husn nazm-e-yak-digar shishe mein hai
