mera wajud usi ki visal-gah mein tha
usi ka wird mere dil ki khanqah mein tha

tumhaare qaul-o-qasam par fareb kya khata
tumhaara tarz-e-amal bhi meri nigah mein tha

huruf-e-makr tere lab pe the magar zalim
mujhe fareb bhi khana wafa ki rah mein tha

tamam sang-dili ya ki phir ghurur-o-hasham
kuchh aur us ke siwa bhi jahan-panah mein tha

tapak ke dida-e-nam se sadaen deta hai
jo ek harf-e-tamanna dil-e-tabah mein tha

mujhe to ras ai 'khalid' yahi zamin aai
ye aur baat mera zikr mehr-o-mah mein tha
