sukun kahan khalish-e-dard-e-mo'atabar ke baghair
hansi labon pe na aaegi chashm-e-tar ke baghair

hazar fasle hael the rah mein lekin
tumhaare jalwon ko dekha kiye nazar ke baghair

rah-e-hayat ki dushwariyan wo kya jaane
safar kiya hi na ho jis ne ham-safar ke baghair

diye hain kitne sahaare shikasta-pai ne
chala hun manzil-e-jaanan ko rahbar ke baghair

gila nahin hai agar aap mujh ko bhul gae
guzar hi jaengi raaten meri sahar ke baghair

khamoshiyon ne bahut zabt-e-gham kiya lekin
koi asar na hua aah-e-be-asar ke baghair

tumhaari yaad ne pahuncha diya kahan mujh ko
safar tamam hua aalam-e-safar ke baghair

wo din gae ki gham-e-dil ko fikr-e-darman thi
tabiat ab to sanbhalti hai chaaragar ke baghair

na jaane kaunsi manzil nazar mein hai 'sajid'
khulus-e-dil ne jo sajde kiye hain sar ke baghair
