har aaine mein tere khadd-o-khal aate hain
ajib ranj tere aashna uthate hain

tamam umr kise kaun yaad rakhta hai
ye jaante hain magar hausla badhate hain

visal-o-hijr ki sab tohmaten usi tak thin
ab aise khwab bhi kab dekhne mein aate hain

ye lahr lahr kise dhundti hai mauj-e-hawa
ye regzar kise aaina dikhate hain

shikast-e-jaan ko abhi e'tibar-e-jaan hai bahut
sarab-e-dasht mein dariya ke khwab aate hain

agar mile hain wo lamhe to un ki qadr karo
mohabbaton ke ye mausam guzar bhi jate hain

jo mil gae hain unhen bhulna zaruri hai
mile nahin hain jo chehre wo yaad aate hain

guzar rahi hai yunhi sham-e-zindagi 'sajid'
ki ek charagh jalate hain ek bujhate hain
