rasta pur-KHar dilli dur hai
sach kaha hai yar dilli dur hai
kaam dilli ke siwa hote nahin
aur na-hanjar dilli dur hai
ab kisi ja bhi sukun milta nahin
aasman qahhaar dilli dur hai
phunk deta hai har ek ke kan mein
subh ka aKHbar dilli dur hai
kal talak kahte hain dilli dur thi
aaj bhi sarkar dilli dur hai
subh guzri sham hone aai mir
tez kar raftar dilli dur hai
kaun dilli se masiha laega
ai dil-e-bimar dilli dur hai
Ghazal
Rasta pur-Khaar dilli dur hai
Khalid Mahmood
