main dost se na kisi dushmani se darta hun
bas is zaban ki be-pardagi se dabta hun

main dur dur se khud ko utha ke lata raha
ki tut jaun to phir dur tak bikharta hun

ye sab ishaare mere kaam kyun nahin aate
yaqin ki mang ko rasm-e-guman se bharta hun

main itni dur nikal aaya shahr-e-hasti se
khud apni zat se akasr lipat ke rota hun

abhi zamana mere sath chalne wala hai
main is khayal se jita hun aur na marta hun

zamana dhund raha hai mujhe makanon mein
main shahr-e-zat ke aandhe kuen mein rahta hun

hamare raste jab se juda hue hain 'said'
main apni zat ko mahsus kar to sakta hun
