Zameen Se Ugti Hai Ya Aasman Se Aati Hai

Zameen se ugti hai ya aasman se aati hai,
Ye be-irada udaasi kahaan se aati hai,

Ise naye dar-o-deewar bhi na rok sake,
Wo ek sada jo puraane makaa'n se aati hai,

Badan ki baass naseem-e-libaas bu-e-nafas,
Koi mahak ho usi khaak-daa'n se aati hai,

Dilon ki barf pighalti nahin hai jis ke baghair,
Wo aanch ek ghum-e-be-nishaa'n se aati hai,

Sukhan-wari hai nazar se nazar ka naaz-o-niyaaz,
Arooz se na zabaan-o-bayaa'n se aati hai.!!
