Pap

bura na mano
namazen ab bhi yahin paDi hain

pe sajda-gahen uTha ke jaane kidhar chale the
wo subh tum ko bhi yaad hogi

alag the ghar aur alaihida chulhe
tumhaare parcham ka rang alag tha

watan tumhaara naya naya tha
sabhi to banTa tha aadha aadha

magar paDi hain wahan pe ab tak
hamari radha ki ek pael

hamare kirishna ki ek bansi
pa 'hir' kaise uTha ke de den

kahan se laen tumhaara ranjha
ki hum se pagal

hisab rakhte nahin dinon ka
hamein to ye bhi pata nahin hai

ki aaryai se babari hum bane to kaise
hamein to shankh aur azan hai yaksan

hamari tariKH ke kitne safhe
churae tum ne?

kahan kahan se nishan hamare
miTae tum ne?

hamari holi tumhaare bin hai udas kitni
tumhein pata kya

hamari eidon ko tum se milne ki pyas kitni
kahan chale the uTha ke mimbar

kahan sajai dukan tum ne
kahan pe beche hain mal kitne

kaho munafa kamaya kitna
hamare jaise

tumhaare jaise
KHuda ke bande

jo apne hisse ka pani
khoden kuan to paen

jo apne tan ko dhuan banaen to roTi khaen
hamein lakiron ke khel se kya

hamein tijarat se wasta kab
jinhen tha sud o ziyan se matlab

wo karobar-e-jahan se ruKHsat
pa aag ab bhi bhaDak rahi hai

chalo buzurgon ka pap dhoen
hamare mandir sambhaalo tum sab

tumhaari masjid ke hum nigahban
