socho to kuchh na samjho samjho to kuchh na bolo
phir chup ka husn dekho bekar lab na kholo

nauha-kunan hawao shola-ba-jaan fazao
dekho wo ja raha hai ji bhar ke us ko ro lo

dale rahen basere khwabon bhare andhere
mahlon ki aas rakkho kutiya ke pat na kholo

kaunde lapak rahe hain jazbe chamak rahe hain
sadiyan bilak rahi hain lamhon ko yun na rolo

har fasla bada hai har marhala kada hai
suraj agar hai pichhe sae ke sath ho lo

gul hun bikhar na jaun pal hun guzar na jaun
takmil kar lo apni aaghosh mein samo lo

duniya faqat guman hai sab kuchh darun-e-jaan hai
jago zarur 'khalid' aankhen magar na kholo
