pyas lagna thi lagi sarshaar hona tha hue
hum ko gharqab-e-sarab-e-dar hona tha hue
hum teri aahaT pe saDkon par nikal aae to kya
hum ko ruswa bar-sar-e-bazar hona tha hue
tere kandhon ke liye sar de ke aaKHir kya gaya
hum ko yun bhi be-sar-o-dastar hona tha hue
tu kahe to apne hathon apni shah-e-rag kaT len
hum ko tere hath ki talwar hona tha hue
KHwab ke aalam mein chalne ka maraz kab ja saka
KHwab hi mein nind se bedar hona tha hue
in saron ki aur in mahlon ki qismat ek thi
sang chalna the chale mismar hona tha hue
ek din 'KHalid' hamein ye swang bharna tha bhara
jhuT gaDhna the ghaDe fankar hona tha hue
Ghazal
Pyas lagna thi lagi sarshaar hona tha hue
