samajhte haiñ jo apne baap kī jāgīr miTTī ko
banā.ūñgā maiñ un ke paañv kī zanjīr miTTī ko
havā sat.h-e-zamīñ par ab ḳhat-e-gulzār khīñchegī
ki ḳhush aatī nahīñ hai abr kī tahrīr miTTī ko
siyah paḌ jā.egī zarroñ kī rañgat ek hī pal meñ
agar qismat se mil jaa.e mirī taqdīr miTTī ko
jalālī aa.ina ik āsmāñ par mehr-e-tābāñ hai
banāyā hai zamīñ par sabr kī tasvīr miTTī ko
bajā.e ḳhaak uḌte haiñ sitāre merī āñkhoñ meñ
ki ho jaatī hai aise kaam meñ tāḳhīr miTTī ko
use mismār karne meñ koī mushkil nahīñ hogī
pasand aa.ī hai shahr-e-ḳhvāb kī ta.amīr miTTī ko
bahut rauñdā gayā hai ḳhaak ko aur ḳhāk-zādoñ ko
atā kī jā.egī ab ġhaib se tauqīr miTTī ko
kamāl apnā dikhā.egā tilismī aa.ina 'sājid'
ki ab darkār hai ik ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr miTTī ko
samajhte hain jo apne bap ki jagir miTTi ko
banaunga main un ke panw ki zanjir miTTi ko
hawa sath-e-zamin par ab KHat-e-gulzar khinchegi
ki KHush aati nahin hai abr ki tahrir miTTi ko
siyah paD jaegi zarron ki rangat ek hi pal mein
agar qismat se mil jae meri taqdir miTTi ko
jalali aaina ek aasman par mehr-e-taban hai
banaya hai zamin par sabr ki taswir miTTi ko
bajae KHak uDte hain sitare meri aankhon mein
ki ho jati hai aise kaam mein taKHir miTTi ko
use mismar karne mein koi mushkil nahin hogi
pasand aai hai shahr-e-KHwab ki tamir miTTi ko
bahut raunda gaya hai KHak ko aur KHak-zadon ko
ata ki jaegi ab ghaib se tauqir miTTi ko
kamal apna dikhaega tilismi aaina 'sajid'
ki ab darkar hai ek KHwab ki tabir miTTi ko
