jo bhar len ek chutki sahab-e-tasir mitti ki
abhi sharminda-e-tasir ho iksir mitti ki
bana kar aadmi kyuun ab-o-gil men ishq ko daala
nikali hai khuda ne ye nai taazir mitti ki
hamari qabr par bhi ik hujum-e-be-kasi hoga
dikha denge pas-e-murdan tujhe tauqir mitti ki
zamin-e-kucha-e-dil-dar ne kya paanv pakde hain
mili divangan-e-ishq ko zanjir mitti ki
rahega tuut kar bhi khana-e-dil alam-e-hasrat
use bhi aap samjhe hain magar taamir mitti ki
yahi mitti hai jis se sab banae jaate hain yarab
buton men kyuun badal jaati hai phir tasir mitti ki
vo kushta huun ki ru-e-khak par bhi aa gai surkhi
khushi se shakl badli hai dam-e-takbir mitti ki
junun-e-ishq men tere zamana khaak barsar hai
badhi hai in dinon tauqir se tauqir mitti ki
zaban di thi khuda ne bolne ke vaste lekin
banaya naz-o-tamkin ne tumhen tasvir mitti ki
kahan sail-e-havadis men pata ham khaksaron ka
kahin thahri hai ru-e-ab par taamir mitti ki
musallat khakiyon par kyuun kiya hai charkh ko yarab
na tha maqbul uzr is ka to kya taqsir mitti ki
vo kya kya khaak udate hain zaban par aa ke tu ne to
hamari baat bhi ai nala-e-shab-gir mitti ki
tum aae mere ghar ka zarra zarra ho gaya raushan
hui mehr-e-darakhshan se siva tanvir mitti ki
udane dete hain vahshat-zada tere koi din men
badhegi justuju ab surat-e-aksir mitti ki
vo aae khaak udane ko pas-e-murdan to hasrat se
hamari ruuh kahti hai zahe-taqdir mitti ki
banaya us se hai dushman ko aur ham ko magar ‘salik’
kahin tauqir mitti ki kahin tahqir mitti ki
