shikasta-dil the tera e'tibar kya karte
jo e'tibar bhi karte to pyar kya karte

zara si der ko baithe the phir utha na gaya
shajar hi aisa tha wo saya-dar kya karte

shab intizar mein din yaad-e-yar mein kate
ab aur izzat-e-lail-o-nahaar kya karte

kabhi qadam safar-e-shauq mein ruke hi nahin
to sang-e-mil bhala hum shumar kya karte

sitam-shanas-e-mohabbat to jaan pe khel gae
nishana-e-sitam-e-rozgar kya karte

hamari aankh mein aansu na us ke lab pe hansi
khayal khatir-e-abr-e-bahaar kya karte

wo na-pasand tha lekin use bhulaya nahin
jo baat bas mein na thi ikhtiyar kya karte

darun-e-khana-e-dil kaisa shor hai 'sajid'
hamein khabar thi magar aashkar kya karte
