wafa ke nam pe rakkhi hain tohmaten kya kya
bigad di hain zamane ne suraten kya kya

hamin pe dosh hai un ki qaza namazon ka
janab-e-shaikh ne dhundin wazahaten kya kya

bade khulus se ek shahr-e-gul ujad liya
hui hain ahl-e-nazar se himaqaten kya kya

fareb-e-sim-o-jawahar hue hain nam-o-numud
khayal-e-yar se uljhi hain zulmaten kya kya

wo mehrban to na tha par khulus bhi na raha
padi hain ghair ki sohbat mein aadaten kya kya

zaban-e-qatil-o-maqtul par hai ek hi nam
khuda ke nam pe guzrin qayamaten kya kya

badha ke halqa-e-rindan ki ranjishen 'khalid'
sitamgaron ne nikali hain hasraten kya kya
