kahti hui ye mujh se hawa-e-sahar gai
dasht-e-talab mein shabnam-e-ehsas mar gai
rakkha na tha qadam abhi dasht-e-sukut mein
aawaz meri apne hi sae se Dar gai
main us ka nauha ban ke andhere mein ghul gaya
wo ek kiran jo mere liye dar-ba-dar gai
main likh raha tha phul ki patti pe tera nam
kanTe ki nok sina-e-gul mein utar gai
mahfil mein raat nit-nae chehron ke shor mein
wo kaun tha ki jis se lipaTne nazar gai
jis se thi aabru-e-talatum wo mauj bhi
'KHalid' kanar-e-KHak pe sar rakh ke mar gai
Ghazal
Kahti hui ye mujhse hawa-e-sahar gai
