kuchh sochon ke kuchh fikron ke kuchh the ehsasat ke nam
jitne bhi patthar aae sab aaina-e-jazbaat ke nam

un ki nigahen be-parwa hain kuchh bhi nahin jazbaat ke nam
waqf kiye hain jin logon ne din ke ujale raat ke nam

tapte hue sahra mein jaise shabnam ki be-rang numud
jaane kitne khat likkhe hain main ne bhi barsat ke nam

waqt ke honton pe raqsan hain masti ka ek rag liye
subh-e-qayamat ke hangame husn-e-maujudat ke nam

mauj-e-sukun ke sath mile zanjir-e-alam be-tabi-e-dil
hum ne kitni daulat pai ulfat ki saughat ke nam

un ki tamanna meri koshish baham wade aur qasmen
kuchh meri taqdir ke sadqe baqi sab haalat ke nam

saji hui hai adab ki mahfil haal ke aise naghmon se
be-maqsad be-kaif kitaben husn-e-takhliqat ke nam

hasrat-o-arman bazm-e-tasawwur daman-e-sahra dast-e-junun
khushiyon ke paigham hain 'khalid' gham ke hasin lamhat ke nam
