Rahat Indori

Sabhi ka khoon hai shamil yahan ki mitti mein,

Kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai.

Bulati hai magar jaane ka nahi,

Ye duniya hai idhar jaane ka nahi.

Lagegi aag to aayenge ghar kai zad mein,

Yahan pe sirf humara makan thodi hai.

Do gaz sahi magar ye meri milkiyat to hai,

Aey maut tune mujhe zameendaar kar diya.

Afwaah thi ke meri tabiyat kharab hai,

Logon ne pooch pooch ke bimar kar diya.

Aankh mein paani rakho, honton pe chingaari rakho,

Zinda rehna hai to tarkeebein bohot saari rakho.

Hum se bach kar jaoge kahan sahab,

Hum wahan khade hote hain jahan raaste khatam hote hain.

Naye kirdar aate ja rahe hain,

Magar natak wahi chal raha hai.

Aey aasmaan teri aukaat kya hai,

Hum to paron se nahi, hoslon se udte hain.

Dushmani jam kar karo lekin ye gunjaish rahe,

Jab kabhi hum dost ban jayein to sharminda na hon.

Main jab mar jaon to meri alag pehchan likh dena,

Lahu se meri peshani pe Hindustan likh dena.

Bohot aasan hai kisi ko raste se hata dena,

Mushkil to hai kisi ko apna humsafar bana lena.

Aapke shahr ka mausam bohot suhana lage,

Main ek shaam chura loon agar bura na lage.

Zindagi to apne hi dum pe jee jaati hai,

Dusro ke kandhe par to sirf janaze uthaye jaate hain.

Likhna hai to kuch aisa likho ke kalam rone par majboor ho jaye,

Har lafz mein wo dard ho ke dil rone par majboor ho jaye.

Hum aah bhi karte hain to ho jaate hain badnam,

Wo qatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahi hota.

Sher likhna koi aasan kaam nahi hai Rahat,

Hadsaat chahte hain pehle shayar hona.

Ye zaroori nahi ke har baat hi batai jaye,

Kuch baatein to aankhon se hi samajh li jaati hain.

Akele hi ladni padti hai zindagi ki ladai,

Kyuki log sath tabhi dete hain jab unka apna swarth ho.

Rahat ki shabdon mein alag hi aag thi,

Jo soye hue zameer ko bhi jaga deti thi.
