ungliyon se mitti mein suraten banate ho
ek jahan banate ho ek jahan mitate ho

khak se dobara kya aasman bana loge
aasman ko tum aise khak mein milate ho

kya azal se pahle tha kya abad se aage hai
dekhte hain ye parda kab kahan giraate ho

kar-gah-e-hasti mein jab fana muqaddar hai
phir fana ke aalam ko kaise bhul jate ho

meri be-ghari ka bhi aaj majra sun lo
unche unche mahlon ki dastan sunate ho

zakhm jin ko dete ho pattharon ki barish se
pairahan se kyun un ke phir alam banate ho

munsifi ke aain ko tum ne hi to likkha hai
sar jo jhuk nahin sakta us ko kat late ho
