NaKHchir Hun Main Kashmakash-e-fikr-o-nazar Ka

naKHchir hun main kashmakash-e-fikr-o-nazar ka

haq mujh se ada ho na dar-o-bast-e-hunar ka

maghrib mujhe khinche hai to roke mujhe mashriq

dhobi ka wo kutta hun ki jo ghaT na ghar ka

dabta hun kisi se na dabaata hun kisi ko

qael hun musawat-e-bani-nau-e-bashar ka

har chiz ki hoti hai koi aaKHiri had bhi

kya koi bigaDega kisi KHak-basar ka

dil-gir to be-shak hun pe naumid nahin hun

raushan hai dil-e-shab mein diya nur-e-sahar ka

poshida nahin mujh se koi jazr-o-mad-e-shauq

mahram hun sada dilbar-e-angeKHta-bar ka

zindan o salasil se sadaqat nahin dabti

hai shan-e-kai silsila bas raqs-e-sharar ka

taswir koi banti dikhai nahin deti

kiya sarfa abas hum ne kiya KHun-e-jigar ka

kya shughl-e-shajar kar hai afkar se behtar

sauda sar-e-shorida mein gar ho na samar ka

kyun sar-KHush-e-raftar na ho ho qafila-e-mauj

rahzan ka hai andesha na gham zad-e-safar ka

Dali hai sitaron pe kamand ahl-e-zamin ne

zohra ka wo afsun na fasana wo qamar ka

har baat hai 'KHalid' ki zamane se nirali

bashinda hai shayad kisi duniya-e-digar ka
