chhanak chhanak si pael pael nache shokh nashili mitti
bikti jae nagri nagri badan badan chamkili mitti

karwat karwat dard chhupa kar palkon par sapne bikhra kar
ashkon se hum gundh rahe hain kali nili pili mitti

chhod ke mat tum jaana hargiz basti ke albele logo
degi roz sadaen tum ko basti ki rangili mitti

palkon ka sangit suna kar chahat ki khushbu lahra kar
man aangan mein dhup bichhae mutthi bhar chamkili mitti

dhadkan dhadkan mein bas jae qurbat qurbat dil bahlae
dilbar dilbar ras rachae pag pag sughad sajili mitti

shahr-o-qarya ghum gai hai man masti mein jhum rahi hai
mahlon ki mehrab bani hai ganw ki sharmili mitti

umad raha hai be-kal be-kal prem ka dariya tufan tufan
humak rahi hai aaj ghade ki kachchi kachchi pili mitti

kumhaaran ne chaak chalaya be-kal sa jadu dikhlaya
rup rup mein dhalti jae chanchal chhail-chhabeli mitti

haule-haule chal ai rahi sanbhal sanbhal kar narm-rawi se
main bhi thi sartaj kisi ki bol rahi hai gili mitti
