Hum ho gae shahid ye eazaz to mila

hum ho gae shahid ye eazaz to mila
ahl-e-junun ko nukta-e-aghaz to mila

hum ko jo san raha hai wo muKHbir sahi magar
mahfil mein koi gosh-bar-awaz to mila

wo karwan-e-shab ka hua aaKHiri charagh
lo shaiKH ko ye mansab-e-mumtaz to mila

hum auliya nahin the jo dil pherte magar
us ko bhi guftugu ka ek andaz to mila

hum KHud hi be-sure the qasida na paDh sake
is bazm mein ishaara-e-awaz to mila

KHalid ye rang-e-shahr na tha hum se peshtar
sad-shukr kargason ko koi baz to mila
