subah subah ek khwab ki dastak par darwaza khula' dekha
sarhad ke us par se kuchh mehman aae hain

aankhon se manus the sare
chehre sare sune sunae [...]

hath chhuten bhi to rishte nahin chhoda karte
waqt ki shakh se lamhe nahin toda karte

jis ki aawaz mein silwat ho nigahon mein shikan
aisi taswir ke tukde nahin joda karte [...]

jab din dhal jata hai, suraj dharti ki ot mein ho jata hai
aur bhidon ke chhatte jaisi bhin-bhin

bazaron ki garmi, afra-tafri
motor, bas, barqi railon ka hangama tham jata hai [...]

aise hi baithe idhar bhayya the daen jaanib
un ke nazdik badi aapa shabana ko liye

apni sasural ke kuchh qisse latife baaten

taqat ho kisi mein to mitae meri hasti
dain hai mera nam laqab firqa-parasti
main ne badi chaalaki se ek kaam kiya hai
pahle hi mohabbat ka gala ghunt diya hai
main fitne utha deti hun har uthte qadam se
is desh ke tukde bhi hue mere hi dam se
sarmaya-paraston ne janam mujh ko diya hai
mazhab ke tassub ne mujhe god liya hai
hai mulk ki taqsim ladakpan ki kahani
us waqt to bachpan tha mera ab hai jawani
ghabraata hai shaitan meri taqrir ke fan se
main zahr ugalti hun zaban ban ke dahan se
darkar hua jab bhi mujhe khun ziyaada
main aa gai odhe hue mazhab ka libaada
main desh ki qattala hun aur sab se badi hun
bachchon ki bhi gardan pe chhuri ban ke chali hun
goli ko sikha deti hun chalne ka qarina
main chhed ke rakh deti hun mazlum ka sina
har sukhe hue hont se leti hun tari main
dam todne walon ki udati hun hansi main
masumon ke man bap ka sar main ne liya hai
bachchon ko yatimi ka laqab main ne diya hai
hindu ka lahu ho ki musalman ka lahu ho
matlab hai lahu se kisi insan ka lahu ho
mil jae to main kis ka lahu pi nahin sakti
majbur hun be khun piye ji nahin sakti
har firqe ke logon ka lahu chat rahi hun
faslon ki tarah sab ke gale kat rahi hun
jis waqt jahan chahun wahan aag laga dun
jis basti ko chahun use virana bana dun
jis shahr ko phunka na makin the na makan tha
uthta hua kuchh der agar tha to dhuan tha
gulshan mere hathon yunhi taraj rahega
main zinda rahungi to mera raj rahega
taqat ho kisi mein to mitae meri hasti
dain hai mera nam laqab firqa-parasti
