rujua karte hue apne muddaa se main
tere alawa bhi kuchh mang lun khuda se main

koi charagh agar ho mere taaqub mein
thakan sametta jaun nuqush-e-pa se main

faqir hun isi kuche mein khak phankta hun
sada laga nahin sakta magar haya se main

rukunga ja ke kisi khub-ru ki chaukhat par
gali mein phul khilata hua dua se main

kabhi kabhi yunhi apne se puchh leta hun
kisi ke khoj mein nikla tha kab saba se main

mere baghair mukammal nahin hai ye duniya
ki is qaziye mein shamil hun ibtida se main

shaguft hota hua aaina hai dil mera
mere khuda abhi mahfuz hun riya se main

ragon mein barf bani nind ke pighalne par
tumhein pukarte niklunga nainwa se main

suna hai rah mein hote hain saya-dar shajar
kabhi milunga kisi dard-ashna se main

laga rahunga yunhi wasl ki tag-o-dau mein
marun ki zinda rahun aap ki bala se main

gulab khilne lage hain meri rag-o-pai mein
kahunga ja ke chaman mein kabhi saba se main

hadaf banaun kisi surma ko ab 'sajid'
tamam umr na ladta rahun hawa se main
