I'm running the sleep command in terminal using screen and in detached mode.
Once the screen immediately returns, I'm running ps command to verify the sleep is running.
$ screen -d -m 'sleep 2m'
[raj@localhost ~]$ ps

But the command didn't show sleep. What is that I'm doing wrong here?

screen expected the command in the first argument; what you gave as that first argument was: 'sleep 2m', so it tried to execute a command named (exactly) 'sleep 2m', as opposed to what you really wanted, which was sleep with an argument of 2m. The screen command exited successfully, but it did not successfully execute your command.
Use, instead:
screen -d -m sleep 2m
Instead of ps, which will only show processes associated with the current terminal (of which the SCREEN and related processes are not), use:
ps x
which will show it:
$ ps x
