alfaz ko hai dil mein utar jaane ki aadat

alfaz ko hai dil mein utar jaane ki 'adat
jis tarh musafir ko hai ghar jaane ki 'adat
raste mein khade ho ke sanwar jaane ki 'adat
chehre ko bhi kuchh aur nikhar jaane ki 'adat


ek hashr uthate hue aaenge tere pas
chup-chap nahin hum ko guzar jaane ki 'adat
sau qism ke jhagdon se bacha leti hai mujh ko
har baat se ye saf mukar jaane ki 'adat


ghamgin agar hon to simat jate hain khud mein
lamhat-e-khushi hon to bikhar jaane ki 'adat
duniya mein kabhi sar ko utha kar nahin chalte
jin ko bhi hai aafat se dar jaane ki 'adat


'khalid' hai ye thahraw qayamat ki nishani
har ek qadam chhod thahar jaane ki 'adat
