raushni karne aaya tha suraj
sae dekhe to dhal gaya suraj

parda jab bhi hataya khidki se
mere kamre mein aa gaya suraj

aa gae hum chhaton se kamron mein
aur hamein dhundhta phira suraj

chandni bhi udas lagti hai
mujh ko viran kar gaya suraj

raat ne baadban khol diya
apna saman le gaya suraj

sara din kan bajte rahte hain
har kiran hai teri sada suraj

ek main hi nahin hun duniya mein
tera sab se hai rabta suraj

koi diwar bhi nahin hail
tera darbar hai khula suraj

sans teri hai sab ke sinon mein
sab tujhi se hai silsila suraj

mera tera muqabla kaisa
main to hun ghar ka ek diya suraj

aaj ka din 'khalil' kya guzra
aaj dil se utar gaya suraj
