jaane dil ka aankh se kaisa rishta hai
chot lage to aankh se aansu bahta hai

pal pal nae thikane dhundhta rahta hai
mera dil bhi nae parinde jaisa hai

mere dil ke ujde ujde sahra mein
ek diya sa jalta bujhta rahta hai

dekhna kale baadalon ne na dhanka ho
apni marzi se kab suraj chhupta hai

kaun likhega dhalte suraj ka qissa
jo likhta hai chand ki baaten likhta hai

pal pal rang badalti duniya mein ai dost
apne khun se to pani bhi mahnga hai

tu bhi hai la-ilm 'khalil' ke sine mein
teri yaadon ka ek tapta sahra hai
