hai musalmaan ko hamesha aab-e-zamzam ki talaash — Bahram Ji

nahin but-khaana o kaaba pe mauquf
huaa har ek patthar mein sharar band

nahin duniyaa mein aazaadi kisi ko
hai din mein shams aur shab ko qamar band

pataa miltaa nahin us be-nishaan kaa
liye phirtaa hai qaasid jaa-ba-jaa khat

zaahidaa kaabe ko jaataa hai to kar yaad-e-khudaa
phir jahaazon mein khayaal-e-naa-khudaa kartaa hai kyuun

zaahiri vaaz se hai kyaa haasil
apne baatin ko saaf kar vaaiz

DhunDh kar dil mein nikaalaa tujh ko yaar
tu ne ab mehnat miri be-kaar ki

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe
