charagh baqi raha na ab aaina rahega
magar shaguft-e-jamal ka silsila rahega

hazar chaukas rahin kadi tirgi ke dai
mere tasawwur mein ek rauzan khula rahega

yaqin aaya hai aaj alwah-e-sang padh kar
ki is nagar mein bas ek nam-e-khuda rahega

yahi rahega agar meri be-kasi ka aalam
duaen bach paengi na dast-e-dua rahega

siyah padne lagegi sham-e-visal ki zau
khila hua raat-bhar jo rang-e-hina rahega

meri tarah nind aa nahin paegi use bhi
main jaanta hun wo subh tak jagta rahega

kahan mitane se mit sakega wo naqsh dil se
ghubar sa aaine pe ek aks ka rahega

khayal rahta hai nind mein ab usi pari ka
jo phul ab shakh par khilega khila rahega

safar ho patal ka ki sair-e-falak ho 'sajid'
jahan rahunga zamin se rabta rahega
