Qatl-e-charaghan

aaj phir qatl-e-charaghan ka ye manzar dekho
aaj phir KHak si uDti hai chaman-zaron mein

phuTa phir KHun ka sota kahin kohsaron mein
aaj phir maqtal-e-insan pe baDi raunaq hai

aaj phir surat-e-shaitan pe baDi raunaq hai
kuchh dhamakon ne jo taswir badal Dali hai

KHak bhi KHak nahin hai yahan ab lale hai
ban ke kaun aaya hai ab nau-e-bashar ka dushman

jis ki nafrat ka nishana bane hain ghuncha dahan
godiyan ujDi hain jin maon ki puchho un se

chaunk uThti hain wo rah rah ke har ek dastak pe
kone kone se jo bachchon ki sada aati hai

pagalon ki tarah man DhunDti rah jati hai
dars-o-tadris ke minar girane walo

nanhe masumon pe hathiyar uThane walo
de sakoge hamein kya chand sawalon ke jawab

tum ne jo zulm kiye kya hai badal us ka sawal
tum ne ek nara-e-takbir lagaya jis dam

khauf-e-allah zara bhi na hua dil pe raqam
zehn mein tere na aaya ki hain bande us ke

jis ke nazdik ibaadat hai mohabbat sab se
tu ne maon ke jigargosho'n ko mara jis dam

hath kanpe na tere dil na hue kyun pur-nam
apne mazhab ki ibaadat ka bharam hai tujh ko

darja paega shahadat ka bharam hai tujh ko
ek dafa paDh le agar waqia-e-karb-o-bala

jaan jaega ke dar-asl ye islam hai kya
tu ne quran jo sahih taur se samjha hota

aaj tujh mein bhi mohabbat ka saliqa hota
