kis ne di aawaz sipar ki ot mein tha
mera sar to us ke sar ki ot mein tha

main ne sat parinde udte dekhe the
ek parinda aur shajar ki ot mein tha

maidanon shahron mein log salamat hain
marne wala apne ghar ki ot mein tha

yun jagi hai aag sabhi dalanon mein
jaise koi hath sharar ki ot mein tha

kyun aanhken ummidon ki mehman rahin
shayad koi khwab safar ki ot mein tha

aaj khula dushman ke pichhe dushman the
aur wo lashkar is lashkar ki ot mein tha

'sajid' aaj hunar hai us ke sae mein
lekin kal fankar hunar ki ot mein tha
