mohabbat mein to jaan-o-dil ka nazrana bhi hota hai
kaf-e-afsos ko mal mal ke pachhtana bhi hota hai

tujhe pa kar ye jaana ishq mein sari khushi pali
tujhe kho kar ye samjha is mein gham khana bhi hota hai

na phulon mein hai ranai na taron mein hai zebai
bada be-kaif sham-e-gham ka afsana bhi hota hai

mohabbat mein jab izhaar-e-mohabbat pe ho pabandi
to dil ki baat ko aankhon se samjhana bhi hota hai

ye teri be-rukhi tera taghaful bekali teri
inhin ashkal mein is dil ko bahlana bhi hota hai

shabab-e-husn pe zeba nahin hai naz ai 'khalid'
kali jab phul banti hai to murjhana bhi hota hai
