miTTi thi kis jagah ki

be-faiz saaton mein
munh-zor mausamon mein

khud se kalam karte
ukhdi hui tanabon

din-bhar ki sakhtiyon se
ukta ke so gae the

barish thi be-nihayat
mitti se uth rahi thi

khushbu kisi watan ki
khushbu se jhankte the

galiyan makan dariche
aur bachpane ke aangan

ek dhup ke kinare
aasaishon ke maidan

udte hue parinde
ek ujle aasman par

do nim-baz aankhen
bedariyon ki zad par

ta-hadd-e-khak udte
be-samt be-irada

kuchh khwab fursaton ke
kuchh nam chahaton ke

kin paniyon mein utre
kin bastiyon se guzre

thi subh kis zamin par
aur shab kahan pe aai

mitti thi kis jagah ki
udti phiri kahan par

is khak-dan pe kuchh bhi
daim nahin rahega

hai panw mein jo chakkar
qaem nahin rahega

dastak thi kin dinon ki
aawaz kin ruton ki

khana-ba-dosh jage
khemon mein ud rahi thin

aankhon mein bhar gai thi
ek aur shab ke ninden

aur shahr-e-be-aman mein
phir subh ho rahi thi
