aao mil baiTh kar hansein bolein — Hazin Ludhianvi

utar ke niche kabhi mere saath bhi to chalo
buland khiDkiyon se kab talak pukaaroge

tundi-e-sail-e-vaqt mein ye bhi hai koi zindagi
subh hui to ji uThe, raat hui to mar gae

tulu hogaa abhi koi aaftaab zarur
dhuaan uThaa hai sar-e-shaam phir charaaghon se

nazar na aai kabhi phir vo gaanv ki gori
agarche mil gae dehaat aa ke shahron se

jo paa liyaa tujhe main khud ko DhunDne niklaa
tumhaare qurb ne bhi zakhm-e-naa-rasaai diyaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi
