jiwan mujh se main jiwan se sharmata hun
mujh se aage jaane walo mein aata hun
jin ki yaadon se raushan hain meri aankhen
dil kahta hai un ko bhi main yaad aata hun
sur se sanson ka nata hai toDun kaise
tum jalte ho kyun jita hun kyun gata hun
tum apne daman mein sitare baiTh kar Tanko
aur main nae baran lafzon ko pahnata hun
jin KHwabon ko dekh ke main ne jina sikha
un ke aage har daulat ko Thukraata hun
zahr ugalte hain jab mil kar duniya wale
miThe bolon ki wadi mein kho jata hun
'jalib' mere sher samajh mein aa jate hain
isi liye kam-rutba shaer kahlata hun
Ghazal
Jiwan mujhse main jiwan se sharmata hun
Habib Jalib
