makan hi na banae gae zamin kam thi
shajar hawa mein ugae gae zamin kam thi

main us jagah hun jahan se palat ke suraj mein
panah dhundne sae gae zamin kam thi

bashar muqim the qabron mein aur nae murde
samundaron mein bahae gae zamin kam thi

hamein bhi laut hi jaana hai hum se pahle bhi
sab aasman pe uthae gae zamin kam thi

tamam umr kati ek jagah khade rah kar
kabhi na hum kahin aae gae zamin kam thi

ye kaenat-e-safar tha so raat padte hi
hum aasman sarae gae zamin kam thi

buzurg aab-e-baqa pi chuke the aur bachche
wajud hi mein na lae gae zamin kam thi

khuda ne aadam-o-hawwa ko kar diya paida
phir aadmi na banae gae zamin kam thi

hum apne aap ko 'akash' ghar samajhte rahe
hamesha khud hi mein pae gae zamin kam thi
