sab sikandar ghaznawi babar ke shaidai mile

sab sikandar ghaznawi babar ke shaidai mile
koi to mujh ko yahan poras ka bhi bhai mile
ab bhi hai insan jahaalat ke usi me'yar par
aaj bhi mansur aa jae to ruswai mile


chahaton mein bas khasara hi khasara hai magar
log jitne bhi mile chahat ke shaidai mile
thak chuke hain raat din ki anjuman-arai se
ai hujum-e-shahr ab thodi si tanhai mile


bakhsh dije ab hamein bhi baryabi ka sharaf
muntazir kab se khade hain kuchh to shunawai mile
fikr ki gahrai se nikle achhuta jab khayal
kyon na har mahfil mein phir us ko pazirai mile


dost shamil ho gae 'khalid' 'adu ki fauj mein
mo'jiza hoga agar ab bhi na paspai mile
