kis baat pe gir gae nazar se
puchhe to sadaf saf-e-guhar se

ai dasht-naward-e-dil palat bhi
ai khak-ba-sar nikal bhi ghar se

hum gharq-e-jamal kya bataen
kis aan guzar gaya wo sar se

har chand ghubar-e-rah the hum
nikle na hisar-e-rahguzar se

dastak ki tarah jo ubhre 'khalid'
kis dhun mein palat gae the dar se
