suraj hun zindagi ki ramaq chhod jaunga
main dub bhi gaya to shafaq chhod jaunga

tarikh-e-karbala-e-sukhan! dekhna ki main
khun-e-jigar se likh ke waraq chhod jaunga

ek raushni ki maut marunga zamin par
jine ka is jahan mein haq chhod jaunga

roenge meri yaad mein mahr o mah o nujum
in aainon mein aks-e-qalaq chhod jaunga

wo os ke darakht lagaunga ja-ba-ja
har bund mein lahu ki ramaq chhod jaunga

guzrunga shahr-e-sang se jab aaina liye
chehre khule darichon mein faq chhod jaunga

pahunchunga sehn-e-bagh mein shabnam-ruton ke sath
sukhe hue gulon mein araq chhod jaunga

har-su lagenge mujh se sadaqat ke ishtihaar
har-su mohabbaton ke sabaq chhod jaunga

'sajid' gulab-chaal chalunga rawish rawish
dharti pe gulistan-e-shafaq chhod jaunga
