hunar-mandi se jine ka hunar ab tak nahin aaya
hunar-mandī se jiine kā hunar ab tak nahīñ aayā
safar karte rahe tarz-e-safar ab tak nahīñ aayā
ġhalat hai tere ashkoñ meñ asar ab tak nahīñ aayā
tujhe ronā ai merī chashm-e-tar ab tak nahīñ aayā
hazāroñ falsafī qabza kiye baiThe haiñ zehnoñ par
mire qaabū meñ yā-rab merā sar ab tak nahīñ aayā
paḌā rahtā hai har dam ḳhauf kā saaya rag-e-jāñ par
koī be-ḳhauf lamha be-ḳhatar ab tak nahīñ aayā
hamāre sar pe hai sāya-fagan ummīd kā sūraj
hamārī raah meñ koī shajar ab tak nahīñ aayā
hameñ to qāfiya-paimā.ī karnā bhī nahīñ aatā
baḌā fan hai jo aa jaatā magar ab tak nahīñ aayā
vo kahte haiñ duā.eñ bā-asar hotī haiñ 'ḳhālid' kī
maiñ kahtā huuñ koī zer-e-asar ab tak nahīñ aayā
hunar-mandi se jine ka hunar ab tak nahin aaya
safar karte rahe tarz-e-safar ab tak nahin aaya
ghalat hai tere ashkon mein asar ab tak nahin aaya
tujhe rona ai meri chashm-e-tar ab tak nahin aaya
hazaron falsafi qabza kiye baiThe hain zehnon par
mere qabu mein ya-rab mera sar ab tak nahin aaya
paDa rahta hai har dam KHauf ka saya rag-e-jaan par
koi be-KHauf lamha be-KHatar ab tak nahin aaya
hamare sar pe hai saya-fagan ummid ka suraj
hamari rah mein koi shajar ab tak nahin aaya
hamein to qafiya-paimai karna bhi nahin aata
baDa fan hai jo aa jata magar ab tak nahin aaya
wo kahte hain duaen ba-asar hoti hain 'KHalid' ki
main kahta hun koi zer-e-asar ab tak nahin aaya
