kuchh sher-go paraya qalam-dan khol kar
kahte hain sher 'mir' ka diwan khol kar

biwi ke samne jo zaban kholte nahin
chalte hain rah mein wo gareban khol kar

tum nashte ki mez pe baithi ho is tarah
jaise ki rakh diya ho namak-dan khol kar

'khalid' hamare sher adab ke ye azhdahe
sunte hain munh ko band kiye kan khol kar
