raushni karne aaya tha suraj

raushnī karne aayā thā sūraj

saa.e dekhe to Dhal gayā sūraj

pardā jab bhī haTāyā khiḌkī se

mere kamre meñ aa gayā sūraj

aa ga.e ham chhatoñ se kamroñ meñ

aur hameñ DhūñDhtā phirā sūraj

chāñdnī bhī udaas lagtī hai

mujh ko vīrān kar gayā sūraj

raat ne bādbān khol diyā

apnā sāmān le gayā sūraj

saarā din kaan bajte rahte haiñ

har kiran hai tirī sadā sūraj

ek maiñ hī nahīñ huuñ duniyā meñ

terā sab se hai rābta sūraj

koī dīvār bhī nahīñ haa.il

terā darbār hai khulā sūraj

saañs terī hai sab ke sīnoñ meñ

sab tujhī se hai silsila sūraj

merā terā muqābla kaisā

maiñ to huuñ ghar kā ik diyā sūraj

aaj kā din 'ḳhalīl' kyā guzrā

aaj dil se utar gayā sūraj

raushni karne aaya tha suraj

sae dekhe to Dhal gaya suraj

parda jab bhi haTaya khiDki se

mere kamre mein aa gaya suraj

aa gae hum chhaton se kamron mein

aur hamein DhunDhta phira suraj

chandni bhi udas lagti hai

mujh ko viran kar gaya suraj

raat ne baadban khol diya

apna saman le gaya suraj

sara din kan bajte rahte hain

har kiran hai teri sada suraj

ek main hi nahin hun duniya mein

tera sab se hai rabta suraj

koi diwar bhi nahin hail

tera darbar hai khula suraj

sans teri hai sab ke sinon mein

sab tujhi se hai silsila suraj

mera tera muqabla kaisa

main to hun ghar ka ek diya suraj

aaj ka din 'KHalil' kya guzra

aaj dil se utar gaya suraj
