aankh se tut kar giri thi nind
wo jo madhosh ho chuki thi nind

meri aankhon ke kyun jharoke tak
aa ke chup-chap si khadi thi nind

kis ne chheda hawa ke lahje mein
kaisi khamosh si padi thi nind

nili aankhon ki kar raha tha main
jab tilawat to jal gai thi nind

kitni pur-lutf thin meri raaten
un dinon jab hari-bhari thi nind

chand mere sirhane baitha tha
aur baghal mein khadi hui thi nind

jab talak main kiwad karta band
'sajid' mujh dur ja chuki thi nind
