mujhe nahin hai koi wahm apne bare mein
bharo na had se ziyaada hawa ghubare mein

tamasha khatm hua dhup ke madari ka
sunahri sanp chhupe sham ke pitare mein

jise main dekh chuka us ko log kyun dekhen
na chhodi koi bhi baqi kashish nazare mein

wo bolta tha magar lab nahin hilata tha
ishaara karta tha jumbish na thi ishaare mein

tamam log gharon ki chhaton pe aa jaen
badi kashish hai nae chand ke nazare mein

mile mujhe bhi agar koi sham fursat ki
main kya hun kaun hun sochunga apne bare mein

purani samt mudega na koi bhi 'sajid'
ye ahd-e-nau na bahega qadim dhaare mein
