kabhi ghamgin hota hun kabhi main muskuraata hun
tumhein jab yaad karta hun to khud ko bhul jata hun

tumhein to dushmanon ki dushmani ne mar dala hai
mujhe dekho main apne doston se zakhm khata hun

kabhi fursat mile to dekh lena ek nazar aa kar
tumhaari yaad mein bujhti hui shamen jalata hun

main chalta ja raha hun aabla-pa shauq-e-manzil mein
kabhi kui sher kahta hun kabhi kuchh gungunata hun

'khalil' ab meri aankhon mein sunahre khwab mat bona
main pahle hi dukhon ki khetiyan tanha ugata hun
