ji mein aata hai ki chal kar jangalon mein ja rahen
nit-nae mausam ke bhi hamrah wabasta rahen

aati jati rut ko dekhen apne chashm o gosh se
mausamon ke war sah kar bhi yunhi zinda rahen

phul phal paude parinde hamdam o dam-saz hon
in mein baste hi bhale lekin na yun tanha rahen

shahr ke diwar-o-dar har ek se hain na-ashna
shahr mein rahte hue kyunkar na begana rahen

be-murawwat hai zamana us ka shikwa kyun karen
apne andar ke makin ka ban ke ham-saya rahen

jism ke andar ghamon ki aandhiyan chalti rahen
zahiri surat mein sab chehre tar-o-taza rahen

dekhte hi jis ko sab mahrumiyan kafur hon
dil mein tufan se uthen chehre magar sada rahen

masala ye bhi to hai is ahd ka ai jaan-e-jaan
kyun nichhawar jaan karen kis ke liye zinda rahen

udte lamhon ko agar qabu mein karna hai 'said'
bhagne ko har ghadi har waqt aamada rahen
