sard rahon mein bhatakti hui shamon ki tarah
main tere sath chali aai hun raston ki tarah

bas yahi dekh ke tajdid-e-mohabbat kar li
ro pada tha wo mere samne bachchon ki tarah

ghar udasi ne padaw hai kiya muddat se
khwab kamron mein saja rakkhe hain katbon ki tarah

bagh-e-hijran ki bahaaron ke bhi subhan-allah
zakhm phulon ki tarah phul hain zakhmon ki tarah

likh rahi hun tere mathe pe koi 'mir' ka sher
padh rahi hun teri aankhon ko sahifon ki tarah

wo mujhe chhod gaya hijr musalle par raat
main ada karti rahi jis ko namazon ki tarah

maut se rishta mera man ki tarah hai 'sadi'
zindagi lagti hai mujh ko sagi bahnon ki tarah
