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
