us aaine mein dekhna hairat bhi aaegi
ek roz mujh pe us ki tabiat bhi aaegi

qadghan laga na ashkon pe yaadon ke shahr mein
hoga agar tamasha to khilqat bhi aaegi

main aaina banunga tu patthar uthaega
ek din khuli sadak pe ye naubat bhi aaegi

mausam agar hai sard to phir aag tap le
chamkegi aankh khun mein hararat bhi aaegi

kuchh der aur shakh pe rahne de sabr kar
pakne de phal ko khane mein lazzat bhi aaegi

aankhen hain tere pas to phir sath-e-ab par
gahrai se ubhar ke ibarat bhi aaegi

niklen charagh hath mein le kar gharon se log
suraj ki rah mein manzil-e-zulmat bhi aaegi

ye jaanta to katta 'sajid' na sae ko
talwar par lahu ki tamazat bhi aaegi
