kaun ye aag liye roz yahan aata hai
sans leta hun to andar se dhuan aata hai

hum ne to pyas bujhani hai faqat ashkon se
dasht-e-hijran se kahan aab-e-rawan aata hai

ye bhi kafi hai ki wo yaad to karta hai mujhe
koi milne ko bhala roz kahan aata hai

hijr ek aisa ilaqa hai ki jis se aage
girya-e-dil ke liye shahr-e-ziyan aata hai

main tere jaane se naraaz nahin hun ai dost
ped jhad jate hain jab daur-e-khizan aata hai

kaun si rah pe tu chhod gaya hai mujh ko
khatm hota hai safar aur na makan aata hai

is jagah kaise koi khwab-e-mohabbat dekhe
raat ke waqt jahan shor-e-sagan aata hai

ye zamin is liye aabaad hai 'khalid-sajjad'
ek dar hai ki jahan sara jahan aata hai
