nahin ab rok paegi fasil-e-shahr pani ko
bahae ja rahi hai raushni ki lahr pani ko

mujhe bhi surkh karti hai ye mashal meri aankhon ki
ki jaise sabz karta hai ziya ka zahr pani ko

kisi be-nam sayyare pe ab bhi abr chhaya hai
tarasta hai kai din se agarche dahr pani ko

bahut itra rahi hai mauj-e-sahra apne hone par
rawan rakhti ho jaise aaj bhi ye nahr pani ko

nikalna chahta hai qaid se jaise mashiyyat ki
pasand aaya nahin hai aasmani qahr pani ko

use wo rakh karne ke liye tayyar hai 'sajid'
muqayyad hi na rakkhega faqat ye shahr pani ko
