hawa mein tair rahe hain sahab mitti ke
zamin pe aaenge ek din azab mitti ke

mujhe to is se kai aadmi banane the
parind bhi na bane dastiyab mitti ke

falak se nur ki surat sawal utre the
diye zamin ne lekin jawab mitti ke

ye kis jahan mein mujh ko guman le aaya
ubhar rahe hain yahan aaftab mitti ke

phir ek roz use chaak par utara gaya
phir us ke baad hue din kharab mitti ke

kiye gae the hazaron hi tajrabaat magar
badan rahe hain faqat kaamyab mitti ke

ye us ke naqsh kaf-e-pa hain aur lagte hain
zamin pe jaise khile hon gulab mitti ke

kisi ke waste sahir charagh the lekin
hawa ke hath pe rakkhe the khwab mitti ke
