sochon ke ban-bas mein aakhir kuchh to sujh hi jaega
ye raston ka pech-o-kham khud manzil bhi dikhlaega

mumkin hai ki tujh ko ab tak khak nazar na aata ho
waqt bala ka shatir hai wo chaalen chalta jaega

aankhen ro ro chamka li hain ujle manzar takne ko
suraj par jo gard padi hai us ko kaun hataega

sare achchhe mausam us ki khwahish mein hi bit gae
kya wo ab in zard ruton mein mujh se milne aaega

sukhe patte odh ke apne tan pe aankhen band kiye
soch raha hun koi aa kar dipak rag sunaega

teri meri aql ke nate aaj bhi hain 'sajjad' juda
jo main baat samajh nahin paya tu kaise batlaega
