ahd-e-hazir ek machine aur us ka karinda hun main
ahd-e-hāzir ik machine aur us kā kārinda huuñ maiñ
reza reza ruuh merī hai magar zinda huuñ maiñ
maiñ huuñ vo lamha jo muTThī meñ samā saktā nahīñ
pal meñ huuñ imroz-o-māzī pal meñ ā.inda huuñ maiñ
vo jo mujh ko pheñk aa.e bheḌiyoñ ke sāmne
kyā gila-shikva ki un se aap sharminda huuñ maiñ
mere lafzoñ meñ agar tāb-o-tavānā.ī nahīñ
ai ḳhudā kyuuñ dahr meñ terā numā.inda huuñ maiñ
maiñ jo kahtā huuñ samajhtā hī nahīñ koī use
jaise malbe meñ dabī bastī kā bāshinda huuñ maiñ
mere chehre par munaqqash is tarah tārīḳh hai
jaise ik kohna ajā.ib ghar kā bāshinda huuñ maiñ
ḳhaak huuñ lekin sarāpā nuur hai merā vajūd
is zamīñ par chāñd sūraj kā numā.inda huuñ maiñ
is jahāñ meñ maiñ hī masjūd-e-malā.ik thā 'sadīd'
is jahāñ meñ aaj ke insāñ se sharminda huuñ maiñ
ahd-e-hazir ek machine aur us ka karinda hun main
reza reza ruh meri hai magar zinda hun main
main hun wo lamha jo muTThi mein sama sakta nahin
pal mein hun imroz-o-mazi pal mein aainda hun main
wo jo mujh ko phenk aae bheDiyon ke samne
kya gila-shikwa ki un se aap sharminda hun main
mere lafzon mein agar tab-o-tawanai nahin
ai KHuda kyun dahr mein tera numainda hun main
main jo kahta hun samajhta hi nahin koi use
jaise malbe mein dabi basti ka bashinda hun main
mere chehre par munaqqash is tarah tariKH hai
jaise ek kohna ajaib ghar ka bashinda hun main
KHak hun lekin sarapa nur hai mera wajud
is zamin par chand suraj ka numainda hun main
is jahan mein main hi masjud-e-malaik tha 'sadid'
is jahan mein aaj ke insan se sharminda hun main
