SAFEERE DARD KI NOHA GIRI THII,
KE TERI YAAD KI WOH NAGHMAGI THII,
LABO'N PE HARF SAARE JAM GAYE THEY,
JABEE'N SAJDE MEI'N JAA KAR SO GAYI THI,
JO CURFEU LAG CHUKA SO LAG CHUKA THAA,
MERI BEEMAR MAA BHOOKI PARHI THII,
GALI SUNSAAN THII BACHCHE KAHAA'N THEY,
DARO DEEWAR PER IK BE HISI THII,
SARHAK NE TAAN RAKKHI THII SANANE'N,
HAWA BAROOD SE LIPTI HUI THII,
LAHU AANKHO'N ME'N AAKAR JAM GAYA THAA,
NAZAR BARF AAB HO KAR RAH GAYII THII,
MUJHE MAHSOOS HOTA HAI YEH AKSAR,
WOH AGLI ZINDAGI "SAJID" BHALI THII
