kisi ka hukm hai sari hawaen
hamesha chalne se pahle bataen

ki un ki samt kya hai
kidhar ja rahi hain

hawaon ko batana ye bhi hoga
chalengi ab to kya raftar hogi

hawaon ko ye ijazat nahin hai
ki aandhi ki ijazat ab nahin hai

hamari ret ki sab ye fasilen
ye kaghaz ke mahal jo ban rahe hain

hifazat un ki karna hai zaruri
aur aandhi hai purani in ki dushman

ye sabhi jante hain
kisi ka hukm hai dariya ki lahren

zara ye sar-kashi kam kar len apni had mein thahren
ubharna phir bikharna aur bikhar kar phir ubharna

ghalat hai ye un ka hangama karna
ye sab hai sirf wahshat ki alamat

baghawat ki alamat
baghawat to nahin bardasht hogi

ye wahshat to nahin bardasht hogi
agar lahron ko hai dariya mein rahna

to un ko hoga ab chup-chap bahna
kisi ka hukm hai

is gulistan mein bas ek rang ke hi phul honge
kuchh afsar honge jo ye tai karenge

gulistan kis tarah banna hai kal ka
yaqinan phul to yak-rangin honge

magar ye rang hoga kitna gahra kitna halka
ye afsar tai karenge

kisi ko ye koi kaise batae
gulistan mein kahin bhi phul yak-rangin nahin hote

kabhi ho hi nahin sakte
ki har ek rang mein chhup kar bahut se rang rahte hain

jinhonne bagh-e-yakrangin banana chahe the
un ko zara dekho

ki jab ek rang mein sau rang zahir ho gae hain to
kitne pareshan hain kitne tang rahte hain

kisi ko ye koi kaise batae
hawaen aur lahren kab kisi ka hukm sunti hain

hawaen hakimon ki mutthiyon mein hathkadi mein
qaid-khanon mein nahin ruktin

ye lahren roki jati hain
to dariya kitna bhi ho pur-sukun betab hota hai

aur is betabi ka agla qadam sailab hota hai
