kali kali ke baja raazdar hain hum log

kali kali ke baja raazdar hain hum log
chaman ko fakhr hai jin par wo khar hain hum log
lahu se apne gulistan ko sabza-zar kiya
bahut khulus ke aaina-dar hain hum log


haqir jaan ke thukra rahe hain ahl-e-chaman
chaman mein apni jagah khud bahaar hain hum log
kuchh aisa gardish-e-dauran ka dekhte hain fusun
ki aaj ahl-e-gulistan pe bar hain hum log


sitam ye hai ki zamane ka gham uthane par
qarar pate nahin be-qarar hain hum log
yahi hai dawat-e-aish-o-nishat roz-o-shab
khushi ka zikr nahin ashk-bar hain hum log


hamare ahd-e-guzishta ki dekhiye tarikh
khud apni shan mein zi-iftikhar hain hum log
qadam qadam pe masaib utha rahe hain 'khizr'
khuda-gawah ki phir gham-gusar hain hum log
