یہ جو دیوانے سے دو چار نظر آتے ہیں

ان میں کچھ صاحب اسرار نظر آتے ہیں

تیری محفل کا بھرم رکھتے ہیں سو جاتے ہیں

ورنہ یہ لوگ تو بیدار نظر آتے ہیں

Saghar Siddiqui started writing poetry as a child. He moved to Amritsar (Punjab) [from Ambala], in search of work and used to make wooden combs while writing Urdu poetry. For some time, he used Nasir Hijazi as his pen name, but later he switched to Saghar Siddiqui. When 15 years old, he regularly started attending mushairas (poetry recitals) in Jalandhar, Ludhiana and Gurdaspur.

In 1947, when he was 19, he migrated to Pakistan during the independence and settled in Lahore. He was often seen along Circular Road of Lahore, and in Anarkali Bazar, Akhbaar Market, Aibak Road, Shah Alami, and around the Data Darbar area. He would often hold mushairas on the footpaths, in candle light. He continued to write poems, though most of them are lost and unpublished.
