nai barish ke aane tak zamin pyasi rahegi
zamane phir zamane tak zamin pyasi rahegi

nashebon mein chhupe dariyaon se kahta rahunga
faqat kai ugane tak zamin pyasi rahegi

zamin pyasi thi ye daldal ki rut aane se pahle
so ab daldal hatane tak zamin pyasi rahegi

shikam ki aag ki khatir gharon se jaane walo
tumhaare laut aane tak zamin pyasi rahegi

parindon ko darane ka kaha tha kis ne 'shaukat'
so un ke chahchahane tak zamin pyasi rahegi
