ye dhup hi ka karishma dikhai deta hai

ye dhuup hī kā karishma dikhā.ī detā hai

sulagtī ret pe dariyā dikhā.ī detā hai

hamāre shahr meñ insāñ nazar nahīñ aatā

jise bhī dekho farishta dikhā.ī detā hai

maiñ ik nigāh agar dekh luuñ kisī ko bhī

to us kā saarā qabīla dikhā.ī detā hai

kisī bhī rishte ko nazdīk se na dekho tum

pahāḌ duur se achchhā dikhā.ī detā hai

ḳhudā kā ghar hai ye bhagvān kā ye mandir hai

na jaane kyoñ yahāñ ḳhatra dikhā.ī detā hai

kisī bhī moḌ se aksar police kī golī ko

galī meñ kheltā bachcha dikhā.ī detā hai

'ḳhalīl' ab mirī fitrat kā kyā kiyā jaa.e

mujhe to ġhair bhī apnā dikhā.ī detā hai

ye dhup hi ka karishma dikhai deta hai

sulagti ret pe dariya dikhai deta hai

hamare shahr mein insan nazar nahin aata

jise bhi dekho farishta dikhai deta hai

main ek nigah agar dekh lun kisi ko bhi

to us ka sara qabila dikhai deta hai

kisi bhi rishte ko nazdik se na dekho tum

pahaD dur se achchha dikhai deta hai

KHuda ka ghar hai ye bhagwan ka ye mandir hai

na jaane kyon yahan KHatra dikhai deta hai

kisi bhi moD se aksar police ki goli ko

gali mein khelta bachcha dikhai deta hai

'KHalil' ab meri fitrat ka kya kiya jae

mujhe to ghair bhi apna dikhai deta hai
