ishq jab se azab ho gaya hai
dil ka khana-kharab ho gaya hai

mujh ko fursat nahin hai padhne ki
us ka chehra kitab ho gaya hai

puchh mat us ke lams ka nashsha
jism sara sharab ho gaya hai

dhup nikli hui hai chaaron taraf
kaun ye be-hijab ho gaya hai

apne hisse mein raat kya aai
har koi aaftab ho gaya hai

ishq jis se hua mujhe 'khalid'
wo kali se gulab ho gaya hai
