aadam ki pahli aawaz
in pattharon mein ab bhi

chamak rahi hai jinhen pahli
bar main ne apni apni zamin

main dekha meri sar-zamin
un barfab jismon se aabaad hai

jin jismon mein khub-surat
aankhen nai jannat ki safir hain fidyas

main tujhe
ek nae insan ka chehra

dikhata hun us chehre par
insaniyat ka ghreece hai aur

azmat-e-adam ki wo taswir hai
jo hamesha meri zamin par chamakti

rahegi main aadam ko
fitrat se azim samajhta hun

meri raaton mein patthar chamakte
main aur mere din

marmar ki raaton se ziyaada raushan hain
ye dekh ye aadam hai jis par raushni

dahine kandhe se niche gir rahi hai
raushan-dan ka darwaza band na karo

abhi aadam ko apni hi zamin ke liye is
raushni ki zarurat hai aur meri zamin

par ab bhi wo saya maujud hai jis
sae mein an-ginat raaten an-ginat

rang aur an-ginat chehre maujud hain
in andhere mein rafail hi nahin

rodan aur henrimor bhi ghum rahe hain
apne apne mujassamon ke sath magar mein

ab ek nae aadam ka mujassama banaunga
jis aadam ke chehre par apni zamin ki mitti ke

sath apni zamin ka suraj bhi chamkega
kash main is nae suraj ka

mujassama bana sakun
