makan deta kahan tha aman mitti ka
makin chhod gae ye jahan mitti ka

na jaane kaunsi barish baha ke le jae
khada hun sar pe liye saeban mitti ka

zamin ko tang samajhte ho kis liye itna
ye shukr hai ki nahin aasman mitti ka

tumhaare lams ki khushbu hai aaj tak is mein
mahak raha hai abhi phul-dan mitti ka

bikhar raha hun hawa mein kuchh is tarah ab to
badan pe hone laga hai guman mitti ka

main dar raha hun ki mayus hi na ho 'azhar'
ki le raha hai koi imtihan mitti ka
