miTTii thaa kisne chaak pe rakh kar ghumaa diyaa

voh kaun haath the ki jo chaahaa banaa diyaa

jo ab talak chhupaati thii kamre ki roshnii

raastoN kii tiirgii ne voh sab kuchh dikhaa diyaa

pariyoN ke des vaali kahaani bhii khuub thii

bachchoN ko jisne phir yuuN hii bhukhaa sulaa diyaa

ab aur kyaa talaash hai, kyuuN diidaa-rez ho

miTTii meN bas vahii thaa jo tumne ugaa diyaa

kuchh aZhdahe se, kuchh ret pe band siipiyaaN

saahil ko lauTtii huii lahroN ne kyaa diyaa
