uDne do parindon ko abhi shokh havaa mein — 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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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