Sahir manages to impart a sad tinge to a happy event like 'shaadii' declaring it to be the end of love. In his nazm titled 'Khaanaa_aabaadii', recited at his friend's wedding, he starts off on a happy note:

taraane gooNj uTThe haiN fazaa meN shaadiyaanoN ke
hawaa hai itr_aagiiN zarraa zarraa muskuraataa hai

[itr_aagiiN = fragrant]

but ends with:

ye shaadii Khaanaa_aabaadii ho mere mohatarim bhaa_ii
mubaarak kah nahiiN sakataa meraa dil kaaNp jaataa hai

[mohatarim = dear]
