Pat'Thar Ki Deewaar

kya kahoon bhayaanak hai,
ya hasee.n hau ye manzar
Khwaab hai ke bedaari,
kuch pata nahi.n chaltaa
phool bhi hain saaye bhi
khaak bhi hai paani bhi
aadmi bhi mehnat bhi
geet bhi hain aansoo bhi
Phir bhi ek khaamshi
rooho dil ki tanhaayee
ik taveel sannaaTaa
jaise saa.np lahraaye
Maaho saal aate hain
aur din nikalte hain
jaise dil ki basti se
ajnabi guzar jaaye
cheekhti hui.n GhaDiyaa.n
zakhm khurdaa taa'ir hain
narm rau subak lamhe
munjmid sitaare hain
rengti hain taareekhe.n
rozo shab ki raaho.n par,
DhoonDhte hain chashmo dil
naqshe paa nahi.n milte
zindagi ke guldaste
zebe taaqe nisyaa.n hain

pattiyo.n ki palko.n par
os jagmagaati hai
imliyo.n ke peDo.n par
dhoop par sukhaati hai
aaftaab ha.nstaa hai
muskuraate hain taare
chaand ke kaTore se
chaandni chhalakti hai
jel ki fizaao.n mein
phir bhi ik andheraa hai
jaise ret mein gir kar
doodh jazb ho jaaye
raushni ke gaalo.n par
teergi ke naakhun ki
sainkDo.n kharaashe hain
pat'Thar ki deewaare.n
baarko.n ki taameere.n
azhado.n ke paikar hain
jo naye aseero.n ko
raat din nigalte hain
behisi ki mohre hain

pat'Thar ki deewaare.n

pat'Thar ke farsh aur chhat
Pat'tharo.n ki mehraabe.n
pat'tharo.n ki peshaani
pat'tharo.n ki aankhe.n hain
pat'tharo.n ke darwaaze
pat'tharo.n ki angDaai
pat'tharo.n ke panjo.n mein
aahni salaakho.n hain
aur in salaakho.n mein
hasrate.n, tamannaaye.n
aarzuwe.n, umeede.n
khwaab aur taabeere.n
ashk phool aur shabnam
chaand ki jawaa.n nazre.n
dhoop ki sunahri zulf
baadlo.n ki parchhaai.n
sub'ho shaam ki pariyaa.n
maasoomo.n ki lailaaye.n
sooliyo.n pe chhaDti hain
aur is andhere mein
sooliyo.n ke saaye mein
inquilaab paltaa hai
teergi ke kaanto.n par
aaftaab chaltaa hai
pat'Tharo.n ke seene se,
Surkh haath ugte hain
haath hain ke talwaare.n
raat ke andhere mein
jaise sham'aa jalti hai
ungliyaa.n furozaa.n hain
baarko.n ke kono.n se
saazishe.n nikalti hain
khaamushi ki nabzo.n mein
Ghantiyaa.n si bajti hain

jaane kaise qaidi hain
kis jahaan se aaye hain
naakhuno.n mein keele.n hain
haDDiyaa.n shikastaa hain

Naujawaan jismo.n par
pairahan hai zakhmo.n ke
jagmagaate maatho.n par
khoon ki lakeere.n hain
ashk aag ke qatre.n
saans tund aa.ndhi hai
baat hai ke toofaa.n hai
abruwo.n ki ju.nbish mein
azm muskuraate hain
aur nigah ki larzish mein
hausle machalte hsin
tyoriyo.n ki shikno.n mein
naqshe paa baghaawat ke

jitnaa zulm sahte hain
aur muskuraate hain
jitnaa dukh uThaate hain
aur geet gaate hain
jabr aur baDhtaa hai
zaher aur chhaDhtaa hai
zaalimo.n ki shiddat par
zulm cheekh uThtaa hai
unke lab nahi.n hilte
unke sar nahi.n jhukte
dil se aah ke badle
ik sadaa nikalti hai
''inquilaab zindaabaad''

khaake paak ke beTe
khetiyo.n ke rakhwaale
haath kaarkhaano.n ke
inquilaab ki shah par
kohsaar ke shaahi
patTharo.n ki koro.n par
aandhiyo.n ki raaho.n par
bijliyo.n ki baarish mein
goliyo.n ke toofaa.n mein
sar uThaaye baiThe hain

inqulaab saamaa.n hai
hind ki fizaa saari
naz'aa ke hai aalam mein
ye nizaame zardaari
waqt ke mahel mein hai
jashne nau mi tayaari
jashne aame jamhoori
iqtudaare mazdoori
muflisi wa naadaari
teergi ke baadal se
jugnuwo.n ki baarish hai
har taraf andheraa hai
aur is andhere mein
har taraf sharaare hain
koi kah nahi.n saktaa
koun sa sharaara kab
beqaraar ho jaaye
sholaabaar ho jaaye
inquilaab aa jaaye
inquilaab aa jaaye
