hum ne mana dil hamara aap ke qabil nahin
kya ise fariyaad bhi karne ka haq hasil nahin

jazba-e-ulfat na ho aisa to koi dil nahin
aashna-e-gham nahin to zindagi kaamil nahin

is jahan-e-arzu se dur jaana hai tujhe
jada-paimai zamane ki teri manzil nahin

haq bahaaron par hamara bhi hai ahl-e-gulsitan
kaun se gul mein hamara khun-e-dil shamil nahin

hai haqiqat-bin nigahon ki kami is daur mein
tang-nazari se mubarra kya koi mahfil nahin

garche duniya ke jhamelon mein hai uljhi zindagi
ai khayal-e-yar phir bhi tujh se ye ghafil nahin

ye talatum-khez dariya ye hawa-e-pur-khatar
hai bhanwar mein naw 'khalid' dur tak sahil nahin
