Habib-jalib

wo ek lamha jo sach bolne se Darta hai

jo zulm sahta hai jabr iKHtiyar karta hai

wo lamha maut ki wadi mein ja utarta hai

magar jo bar-e-sadaqat uTha ke zinda hai

sitamgaron ke sitam aazma ke zinda hai

wo lamha apne lahu mein naha ke zinda hai

wo ek lamha ki tariKH jis se raushan hai

mata-e-KHak usi ke lahu ka KHirman hai

dawam-e-fasl-e-bahaaran sabaat-e-gulshan hai

wo ek lamha hazaron baras pe ghaalib hai

jo aadmi ke liye azmaton ka talib hai

wo ek lamha nahin hai 'habib-jalib' hai
