mujh se kyaa baat likhaani hai ki ab mere liye — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

bhuul shaayad bahut baDi kar li
dil ne duniyaa se dosti kar li

hasin to aur hain lekin koi kahaan tujh saa
jo dil jalaae bahut phir bhi dilrubaa hi lage

khudaa aise ehsaas kaa naam hai
rahe saamne aur dikhaai na de

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

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

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand hai paani mein yaa bhule hue chehre kaa aks
saahil-e-dariyaa pe dekho main bhi hairaani mein huun

muddaton baa'd kabhi ai nazar aane vaale
iid kaa chaand na dekhaa tiri surat dekhi
