khushk us ki zat ka saton samundar ho gaya
dhup kuchh aisi padi wo shakhs banjar ho gaya

aangan aangan zahr barsaegi us ki chandni
wo agar mahtab ki surat ujagar ho gaya

mere aadhe jism ki us ko lagegi bad-dua
kal khabar aa jaegi wo shakhs patthar ho gaya

kis ne apne hath se khud maut ka katba likha
kaun apni qabr par ibrat ka patthar ho gaya

qurb jab had se badha duri muqaddar ho gai
us ka milna bhi na milne ke barabar ho gaya

main ki bahar ki faza mein qaid tha jis ke sabab
aaj wo khud jins ke pinjre ke andar ho gaya

muft mein taqsim ki 'sajid' mata-e-shaeri
jis ne apna qurb apnaya wo shaer ho gaya
