Zameen-zaaday zameen pay basnay waalay thaknay waalay hain

Zameen-zaaday chalo baatain karain shehr-e-tamanna ki

Yehan to shaam say pehlay he sooraj doob jaata hai

Yehan her khuaab say pehlay he neendain chonk uthti hain

Baharain yoon guzarti hain ke jaisay waqt say un ki koi azli adaawat ho

Koi baadal nahin rukta hawa'ain bay-murawwat hain

Hueen sadyaan ke aankhon main koi sooraj nahin chamka

Koi shabnam nahin utree koi moti nahin damka

Chalo yeh to humaree kum-nigaahi ki sazaa thehri

Magar hum khuwaab na daikhain to neendain bay-samar apni

Sama'at bay-khabar apni sazaa na-mutabar apni

Zameen-zaaday chalo baatain karain shehr-e-tamanna ki

Yeh baatain jo sulagtee hain magar kirnain nahin banteen

Inhain roshan agar kar paao to kitnay sakhee thehro

Magar kya kar sako gay tum? Magar kya kar sakain gay hum

Keh hum is shehr main bay-khuwaab raaton kay hawaalay hain

Zameen-zaaday zameen pay basnay waalay thaknay waalay hain
