koi to chahiye hum ko sahaara tere baad
udas udas raha shahr sara tere baad

jo aasman pe hamare liye chamakta tha
wo mujh se ruth gaya hai sitara tere baad

laga ke zakhmon pe marham tumhaari yaadon ka
kuchh aise dil ko meri jaan sanwara tere baad

tu sath tha to main sab jhelta tha duniya ko
kisi ke naz karun kyun gawara tere baad

hazaron log mere khair-khwah the lekin
kisi ko bhi nahin main ne pukara tere baad

'khalil' apne muqaddar mein ab khushi hi nahin
main har kisi se lada aur haara tere baad
