husn ka hai kaisa ye bazar tere shahr mein
jis ne dekha ho gaya bimar tere shahr mein

aa gae hain hum bhi ai sarkar tere shahr mein
dil mein le ke hasrat-e-didar tere shahr mein

tum pe hi mauquf hai zauq-e-tajalli is liye
arsh se hain farsh tak anwar tere shahr mein

jab wafa ka zikr apnon ne kiya to dafatan
hum ko yaad aane lage aghyar tere shahr mein

kam-nigahi ka zamane ki bhala shikwa hi kya
hum se to apne bhi hain bezar tere shahr mein

sham hi se hai meri nazron mein ai 'khalid' ayan
subh ka wo hashr haal-e-zar tere shahr mein
