duniya mein gham raha na ba-zahir khushi rahi
jis waqt tak jiye khalish-e-zindagi rahi

jab tak meri nazar mein tajalli teri rahi
khud rahbar-e-khirad meri diwangi rahi

hum to suna ke gham ka fasana chale gae
sunte hain der tak tere lab par hansi rahi

aksar shab-e-firaq sitaron ki chhanw mein
yaad aap ki sharik-e-gham-e-bekasi rahi

aisa bhi ek maqam mohabbat mein aa gaya
wo iztirab-e-shauq na wo be-khudi rahi

nazren mila ke tum se yahi sochta raha
izhaar-e-dard dil mein kahan tak kami rahi

taskin ka khayal bhi aata nahin mujhe
achchha hua na un ki nawazish kabhi rahi

un ki samajh mein aa gain majburiyan meri
is jabr-e-zindagi mein bhi ek zindagi rahi

kaliyon ke bankpan mein gulon ke nikhaar mein
gulshan mein har taraf teri jalwagari rahi

samjhenge ahl-e-dil ise tauhin-e-bandagi
'sajid' rahin-e-sajda agar bandagi rahi
