EK UMMID (GHAR SE DOOR PADHNE KE LIYE JAATI LADKI KE NAAM)



Ghar babul ka chodh vatan se door jaate hue

Kyu pareshan ho, naye kuch geet gaate hue ?



Tune socha bhi kabhi apni un maao ko

Chaakri karti thi jo chodh in fazaao ko

Peehar mai ‘paraya dhan’ kehlati thi

‘Pati ka ghar’ kabhi apna na keh pati thi

Ghar se wo nikalti thi dulhan ban kar

Bali ko maveshi jaate hain saj dhaj kar

Naye dyar mai ghut ghut ke mar jaati thi

Mayke se par koi bhi sada na aati thi



Tum meri mata-e-arazu;

Asman ke sitare par nazar tikaye, safar ke liye nikli ho

Mustaqbil ko sitaro se, jagmagane ke liye nikli ho

Mard ki ghulami se zamane ko, chudhane ke liye nikli ho

Ek nayi duniya naya jahaan basane ke liye nikli ho



Teri ankho mai dekhe hain sholey maine

Ashk ankho ke teri na seh paaunga main

In sholo se phunk dena hai ye mardana nizam

Tu haaregi to khud hi haar jaaunga main



Ghar babul ka chodh vatan se door jaate vhue

Nayi subah dhundte, naye suraj kayi jalate hue

Asmaan mai udne ke liye jaa

Phir baras jaane ke liye jaa

Nadiya mai behne ke liye jaa

Samandar ho jaane ke liye jaa

Apni hasti dikhlane ke liye jaa

Naye daur o zamane ke liye jaa


‘Bahut suna liya duniya nai tujhe

Ab apni kahani sunane ke liye jaa’

LOVE JIHAD: ISHQ PAR PEHRA



Ishq hi badal gaya, ki husn hi na ab raha
Nazrein badal gayi, ki dil hi na ab raha
Kya hua ki dast-e-sheikh ab dil ki lagaam hai
Nazar-e-shauq ko thamna brahman ka kaam hai
Dil ki dhadkanein bhi to vaaiz ki ghulaam hain
Jazbe muhabbat ke saare hi dharam ke naam hain
Mandir mai jo khile, wo chameli masjid na mehkayegi
Masjid ko choo kar hawa koi bhi mandir na aayegi
Aisa nizaam khuda ke chahne walo ne hai kiya
Hasiina jo koi dekh lu, pehle deen puchunga miya!

SARKAR KI DUSRI SAALGIRAH KA JASHN AUR HUM

Jagmagahat hi jagmagahat hai,
Utar aye hain zameen pe chand sitaare;
Jashn hi jashn hai chaar soo,
Raqs karte aate hain leader humare.

Sarkar ko humari ab fursat nahi hai,
Roti ki humko ab zarurat nahi hai,
Khushi ke maare jaa.n jaa rahi hai,
Kisaano ko dekho, kya maut aa rahi hai.

Marne se pehle bas ek tamanna thi uski,
Jo puri hui bas wo ek tamanna thi uski,
Sarkar khudkushi ke naghme bajaye,
Rooh jis dum jism se nikal kar ke jaaye.

Sarkar ke dushman ye kehte phire hain,
Ajab hi ek bakwas kehte phire hain,
Daulat ki barbadi hai ye naach-gaana,
Pehle chahiye kisaan ka karz chukana.

Ye tareekh rahi hai, azal se humari,
Raja ke kisse hain aur uski kahani,
Kisano ko koi puchta kab kahaa.n hai,
Wahi.n thai hum pehle bhi, ke ab jahaa.n hain.

Ghareebo ki baat bhala kab humne ki hai,
Bhaghawat-i-nizamiya kab humne ki hai,
Sarkar ki baat hi to hum kar rahe hain,
Jo bhi hukm unka, wo raqam kar rahe hain.

Kitne badbakht-o-kambakht hain ye,
Dushman-i-taaj-o-takht hain ye,
Hungama-i-jashn se ye behalte nahi hain,
Bina ROTI ke ye jite nahi hain.

Chodho bhi ye kisano ka kissa meri jaan,
Aao naghma koi hum gaaye meri jaan,
Ye mauka hai khushi ka khushiya manao,
Sarkar ki dusri saalgirah tum manao.
