sahra to par kar liya dariya bhi par kar
kis ne kaha tha tujh se ki ishq ikhtiyar kar

main ne kaha tha shahr mein kai ba-wafa bhi hain
ye to nahin kaha tha ki ja e'tibar kar

bujhta hua charagh ye fariyaad kar gaya
nafrat hawa se aur charaghon se pyar kar

barson se ek maqam pe thahra hun main 'khalil'
us ne kaha tha aaunga tu intizar kar
