makan hi na banae gae zamin kam thi

makān hī na banā.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

shajar havā meñ ugaa.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

maiñ us jagah huuñ jahāñ se palaT ke sūraj meñ

panāh DhūñDne saa.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

bashar muqīm the qabroñ meñ aur na.e murde

samundaroñ meñ bahā.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

hameñ bhī lauT hī jaanā hai ham se pahle bhī

sab āsmāñ pe uThā.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

tamām umr kaTī ik jagah khaḌe rah kar

kabhī na ham kahīñ aa.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

ye kā.enāt-e-safar thā so raat paḌte hī

ham āsmān sarā.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

buzurg āb-e-baqā pī chuke the aur bachche

vajūd hī meñ na laa.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

ḳhudā ne ādam-o-havvā ko kar diyā paidā

phir aadmī na banā.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

ham apne aap ko 'ākāsh' ghar samajhte rahe

hamesha ḳhud hī meñ paa.e ga.e zamīñ kam thī

makan hi na banae gae zamin kam thi

shajar hawa mein ugae gae zamin kam thi

main us jagah hun jahan se palaT ke suraj mein

panah DhunDne sae gae zamin kam thi

bashar muqim the qabron mein aur nae murde

samundaron mein bahae gae zamin kam thi

hamein bhi lauT hi jaana hai hum se pahle bhi

sab aasman pe uThae gae zamin kam thi

tamam umr kaTi ek jagah khaDe rah kar

kabhi na hum kahin aae gae zamin kam thi

ye kaenat-e-safar tha so raat paDte hi

hum aasman sarae gae zamin kam thi

buzurg aab-e-baqa pi chuke the aur bachche

wajud hi mein na lae gae zamin kam thi

KHuda ne aadam-o-hawwa ko kar diya paida

phir aadmi na banae gae zamin kam thi

hum apne aap ko 'akash' ghar samajhte rahe

hamesha KHud hi mein pae gae zamin kam thi
