mauka e vaardaat, seel-band
zameeN siyaah sulagti hui
koi dehshat se mar gaya,
to koi hairat se
sabhi nakbat mein raakh raakh hue
kisi ke haath, kisi ke paon
jale-bhune, kate-phate, khoon-alooda
chun kar ek ek azza e masloob
naamzad kar ke kisi number se
rakam kar le gaye maalkhane
peeche apno ko dhoondhne wale
shinaakht kar ek ek number ki
ab azizoN ki laash jodte hain
koi kade se mil gaya,
koi angoothi se
kisi ke kurte ka chithra
kisi gale pe mila
ek tukre pe hain kai daawe
sabhi hain haath mein saboot liye
aur jo gosht ke us malbe se
kar saka kuch na baramad
woh hai aakhon mein ek sawal liye
jawab lene pe aamaada hai
kiski hasrat ka sila hai
kise sawab mila?
hua jo kuch bhi,
hua kyun hai?
khabar aai hai, jo dhamaake hue
kisi ne hausla dikhaate hue
unki zimmedaari li hai
phir wahi bhookh, phir wahi elaan
"beja khoon bahakar, malaal kam na hua
jang ye jaari rahegi yun hi"
khabar aai hai, bum phate the jahaN
naami-benaami kai hukmaraaN
gaye the jayeza lene
phir wahi protocol, phir wahi bayan
"aam aabaadi be-khauf rahe
muheem jari rahegi yun hi"
khabar aai hai aspatalon se
maut naraaz hai figaaron se
chaak seeno ke rafoo kholti hai
zindagi ki bhi apni ek zid hai
yahi khoo bhi hai, yahi khoobi bhi
zindagi abhi bhi jaari hai
