thodi si income ki khatir be-chaaron ko mar diya
chand daktron ki hadtalon ne bimaron ko mar diya

america mein t-v-chanel chupke se dar aae the
chal nikle to urdu ke sab akhbaron ko mar diya

abba-ji ke business se har bete ne munh pher liya
kursi ki lalach ne kitne lohaaron ko mar diya

har tali par note nichhawar har lai par london ka ticket
lalu-khet ke qawwalon ne fankaron ko mar diya

masnui baalon ka thappad kafi bhaari hota hai
us ki zulfon ne hil hil ke rukhsaron ko mar diya

ek wazir-e-azam hai ek bhai wazir-e-ala hai
jamhuri dawedaron ne haq-daron ko mar diya

maghrib ki tahzib ka hamla ab ke itna kari hai
jeans ko sasta kar ke us ne shalwaron ko mar diya

jitne bhi dil-phenk the shaer u-s mein aabaad hue
night-kalbon ki raunaq ne bechaaron ko mar diya

mazduri par jata hun to sher sisakte rahte hain
dollar ki khwahish ne mere fan-paron ko mar diya
