andheri shab hai meri jaan zara sa soch to le
bujha charagh kabhi kaam aa hi jata hai

kisi ka nam pukaren kisi ko yaad karen
hamare lab pe tera nam aa hi jata hai

dawa-e-dard-e-jigar jab bhi mangta hun main
to mere samne ek jam aa hi jata hai

khataen shahr ka hakim kare ya aur koi
magar gharib pe ilzam aa hi jata hai

chale the hum ki abhi ibtida-e-ulfat hai
kise khabar thi ki anjam aa hi jata hai

jo mujh pe pahre lagata hai us ko ilm nahin
wo shahr-e-dil mein sar-e-am aa hi jata hai

tujhe bhulane ki koshish to kar raha hun 'khalil'
khayal tera sar-e-sham aa hi jata hai
