khil uThe phul mahak mujhko hawa se aai

khil uThe phuul mahak mujh ko havā se aa.ī

abr ke ruup meñ bilqīs sabā se aa.ī

kaan ke saath khulī aañkh kī putlī lekin

koī tasvīr ubhar ke na sadā se aa.ī

reg-e-sāhil kī tab-o-tāb kī dushman Thahrī

lahr jo bhī pas-e-dīvār-e-havā se aa.ī

dā.imī kar liyā us ko ki sar-e-arsa-e-shab

dil ko jo sā.at-e-ġham dene dilāse aa.ī

jo tamannā kabhī aa.ī na thī lab par 'ḳhālid'

aaj ḳhuuñ ho ke rahī dīda-e-vā se aa.ī

khil uThe phul mahak mujh ko hawa se aai

abr ke rup mein bilqis saba se aai

kan ke sath khuli aankh ki putli lekin

koi taswir ubhar ke na sada se aai

reg-e-sahil ki tab-o-tab ki dushman Thahri

lahr jo bhi pas-e-diwar-e-hawa se aai

daimi kar liya us ko ki sar-e-arsa-e-shab

dil ko jo saat-e-gham dene dilase aai

jo tamanna kabhi aai na thi lab par 'KHalid'

aaj KHun ho ke rahi dida-e-wa se aai
