hum ahl-e-arzu pe ajab waqt aa paDa
ham ahl-e-ārzū pe ajab vaqt aa paḌā
har har qadam pe khel nayā khelnā paḌā
apnā hī shahr ham ko baḌā ajnabī lagā
apne hī ghar kā ham ko pata pūchhnā paḌā
insān kī bulandī o pastī ko dekh kar
insāñ kahāñ khaḌā hai hameñ sochnā paḌā
maanā ki hai farār magar dil ko kyā kareñ
maazī kī yaad hī meñ hameñ Dūbnā paḌā
majbūriyāñ hayāt kī jab had se baḌh ga.iiñ
har aarzū ko pāñv-tale roñdnā paḌā
aage nikal ga.e the zarā apne-āp se
ham ko 'habīb' ḳhud kī taraf lauTnā paḌā
hum ahl-e-arzu pe ajab waqt aa paDa
har har qadam pe khel naya khelna paDa
apna hi shahr hum ko baDa ajnabi laga
apne hi ghar ka hum ko pata puchhna paDa
insan ki bulandi o pasti ko dekh kar
insan kahan khaDa hai hamein sochna paDa
mana ki hai farar magar dil ko kya karen
mazi ki yaad hi mein hamein Dubna paDa
majburiyan hayat ki jab had se baDh gain
har aarzu ko panw-tale rondna paDa
aage nikal gae the zara apne-ap se
hum ko 'habib' KHud ki taraf lauTna paDa
