Jal-Pralay

Khuda jaane kaisi ghadi hai ye aayi,
Ghatao se usne jo bijliya giraayi,
Tabaahi tabaahi tabaahi tabaahi,
Har ore se sada bas ye hi aayi.

Ghamand tha bada jin chattano ko abtak,
Ghark na kar saka koi dariya jinko abtak,
Reh gaye wo bhi ye jal-pralay dekh hakdak,
Khuda ne aakhir, jagah unki dikhaayi.

Mara jo bachpan chattano se dab kar,
Kho diye jisne maa baap paani mai ghir kar,
Zara us bachche ko dekho thehar kar,
Kya khata thi uski? Khuda ne saza ye sunaayi.

Wo bewa jiska suhaag beh gaya hai,
Wo maa jiska beta kahi reh gaya hai,
Wo behan ke bhai jiska, ab so gaya hai,
Khuda nai ghamo ki kyu saza hai sunaayi.

Wo boodha bete ko kaandha de bhi to kaise,
Wo jhurriya waqt ke thapede sahe bhi to kaise,
Wo pote ki laash ko pehchanega kaise,
Khuda ne aisi kyu unko zindagi dikhaayi.
