mitti ki surahi hai
pani ki gawahi hai

ushshaq nahin hum log
par rang to kahi hai

har ghuncha-e-lab darban
har shakh sipahi hai

sabze pe khincha naqsha
aur surkh siyahi hai

ek sanwli patjhad ke
pushte pe tabahi hai

udhdi hui qabron par
katbon ki manahi hai

ai kanch ki si pindli
ye shahr-e-saba hi hai
