bhare pade hue sab bagh-o-ragh the us din
gali mein phul gharon mein charagh the us din

ye aur baat tere samne nahin aae
mere jilau mein kai bad-dimagh the us din

uda liya tha kisi ne khumar aankhon se
tahi sabahat-e-gul se ayagh the us din

shikasta-haal pada tha main apne bistar par
khule hue sabhi rang-e-faragh the us din

kahin libas badalte hue sitare the
kahin lahakte hue khana-bagh the us din

hamein wo dhund na paya tha raat-bhar 'sajid'
ki hum usi ki tarah be-suragh the us din
