mil gai hai baadiya-paimai se manzil meri
kaam aai hai bil-akhir sai-e-la-hasil meri

panw dharne ko mayassar aa nahin pati zamin
naw ruk jati hai aa kar jab lab-e-sahil meri

ek kami meri tag-o-dau mein kahin maujud hai
ho nahin pai abhi tak koi shai kaamil meri

mil nahin pati khud apne-ap se fursat mujhe
mujh se bhi mahrum rahti hai kabhi mahfil meri

main yahin rah jaunga ho kar asir-e-dam-e-asr
rah takta hi rahega mera mustaqbil meri

kya bachaun dan mein kya dun samajh aata nahin
daulat-e-dil mangta hai mujh se ek sail meri

koi apne se gila hota na 'sajid' dahr se
ghaur se ek baat sun leta agar ye dil meri
