jhapaTte hain jhapaTne ke liye parwaz karte hain

jhapaTte haiñ jhapaTne ke liye parvāz karte haiñ

kabūtar bhī vahī karne lage jo baaz karte haiñ

vahī qisse vahī bāteñ ki jo ġhammāz karte haiñ

tire hamrāz karte haiñ mire dam-sāz karte haiñ

ba-sad hiile bahāne zulm kā dar baaz karte haiñ

vahī jāñ-bāz jin par har ghaḌī ham naaz karte haiñ

ziyāda dekhte haiñ jab vo āñkheñ pher lete haiñ

nazar meñ rakh rahe hoñ to nazar-andāz karte haiñ

satā.ish-ghar ke pañkhoñ se havā to kam hī aatī hai

magar chalte haiñ jab zālim bahut āvāz karte haiñ

zamāne bhar ko apnā rāz-dāñ karne kī Thahrī hai

to behtar hai chalo us shoḳh ko hamrāz karte haiñ

Darātā hai bahut anjām-e-namrūdī mujhe 'ḳhālid'

ḳhudā lahje meñ jab bande suḳhan āġhāz karte haiñ

jhapaTte hain jhapaTne ke liye parwaz karte hain

kabutar bhi wahi karne lage jo baz karte hain

wahi qisse wahi baaten ki jo ghammaz karte hain

tere hamraaz karte hain mere dam-saz karte hain

ba-sad hile bahane zulm ka dar baz karte hain

wahi jaan-baz jin par har ghaDi hum naz karte hain

ziyaada dekhte hain jab wo aankhen pher lete hain

nazar mein rakh rahe hon to nazar-andaz karte hain

sataish-ghar ke pankhon se hawa to kam hi aati hai

magar chalte hain jab zalim bahut aawaz karte hain

zamane bhar ko apna raaz-dan karne ki Thahri hai

to behtar hai chalo us shoKH ko hamraaz karte hain

Daraata hai bahut anjam-e-namrudi mujhe 'KHalid'

KHuda lahje mein jab bande suKHan aaghaz karte hain
