kabhi charagh kabhi rasta badal kar dekh
bahut qarib hai manzil zara sa chal kar dekh

tere hisar se bahar nahin zaman-o-makan
tu meri tarah kisi aaine mein dhal kar dekh

faqir ban ke wo aaya hai teri chaukhat par
ye koi aur nahin hai zara sambhal kar dekh

nigar-khana-e-gardun ko rakh karte hue
zara si der kisi taqche mein jal kar dekh

zamin tang hui ja rahi hai logon par
hudud-e-qarya-e-jaan se kabhi nikal kar dekh

rawan-dawan hain kisi samt mein ki sakit hain
phir ek bar sitaron ki aankh mal kar dekh

ajib lutf hai tark-e-nashat mein 'sajid'
jo ho sake to meri baat par amal kar dekh
