ye kya watira tumhaare nae nizam ka hai
sawal subh ka tha aur jawab sham ka hai

hui hai jab se mohabbat mein meri ruswai
tamam shahr mein charcha tumhaare nam ka hai

jo tai kiya hai mashinon se aaj insan ne
wo fasla to faqat mere ek gam ka hai

ghazal mein lafz-e-adaq aaine pe patthar hai
jo sher sahl ho wo zindagi ke kaam ka hai

sawal ye nahin kis tarah koi jita hai
sawal aaj ke insan ke ehtiram ka hai

muazzizin mein un se bada hai khauf mujhe
jinhen khayal faqat apne ehtiram ka hai

udao tum bhi buzurgon ka ai 'said' mazaq
ye faisla hi agar shahr ke awam ka hai
