nahin hai is nind ke nagar mein abhi kisi ko dimagh mera
magar kisi khwab ke safar mein sipar karenge charagh mera

sabahat-e-sham-o-aina se hui hai meri numud lekin
sitara o aasman se bahar kahin milega suragh mera

tadap uthi hai kisi nagar mein qayam karne se ruh meri
sulag raha hai kisi masafat ki be-kali se dimagh mera

jarahat-e-wasl ne khilae hain zulmat-e-sham mein sitare
mata-e-hijran ki chandni se bhara hua hai ayagh mera

lipat rahi hai fasil ki burjiyon se ek shahr ki nigahen
aur ek diwar-e-aina par jhuka hua hai charagh mera

ye kaisi sath-e-rawan pe 'sajid' dhari hui hai zamin meri
ki jhumta hai kisi sitare ke sans lene se bagh mera
