us kī yaad aur dard kī sauġhāt mere saath thī

us se baḌh kar ek tanhā raat mere saath thī

mujh ko tanhā.ī meñ bhī ehsās-e-tanhā.ī na thā

har galī meñ gardish-e-hālāt mere saath thī

rafta rafta band kaliyoñ ke bhī lab khulne lage

āb-e-sabr o hiddat-e-isbāt mere saath thī

band khiḌkī par bhī 'ḳhālid' ek din pahre lage

aisī bhī kuchh sūrat-e-hālāt mere saath thī
