husn maghrur bhi hai mail bhi

husn maġhrūr bhī hai maa.il bhī

ishq sardār bhī hai saa.il bhī

sarfaroshān-e-shauq-o-mastī ko

naġhma hai shorish-e-salāsil bhī

jazb-e-kāmil jo dastgīr huā

to qarīb aa ga.ī hai manzil bhī

ek dil hai ḳhulūs-e-sar-tā-pā

hai yahī zindagī kā hāsil bhī

yahī mushkil to hai mohabbat meñ

ki ye āsān bhī hai mushkil bhī

haa.e us jalve kī ḳhud-ārā.ī

ki hai mastūr bhī muqābil bhī

'ḳhālid'-e-zamzama-sarā chup hai

aur andohgīñ hai mahfil bhī

husn maghrur bhi hai mail bhi

ishq sardar bhi hai sail bhi

sarfaroshan-e-shauq-o-masti ko

naghma hai shorish-e-salasil bhi

jazb-e-kaamil jo dastgir hua

to qarib aa gai hai manzil bhi

ek dil hai KHulus-e-sar-ta-pa

hai yahi zindagi ka hasil bhi

yahi mushkil to hai mohabbat mein

ki ye aasan bhi hai mushkil bhi

hae us jalwe ki KHud-arai

ki hai mastur bhi muqabil bhi

'KHalid'-e-zamzama-sara chup hai

aur andohgin hai mahfil bhi
