Baqist Shab-e-fitna

andhere mein chala hai karwan-e-be-jaras koi

buland-o-past koi hai na us ka pesh-o-pas koi

faqat aawaz-e-pa-e-rahrawan hai ham-safar apni

sharik-e-karwan kitne hain kitne ham-safar hain kaun rahbar kaun rahzan hai

kahan par kaun hai kis kunj mein kis ka basera hai

KHuda jaane yahan to bas andhera hi andhera hai

kuchh aawazen hain

aawazon ke dekho jism bhi hain pairahan bhi hain

inhin mein tum bhi ho main bhi

main kya hun tum meri aawaz ka chehra bana kar dekh lo

yahi main kar raha hun sab yahi karte hain

ye kaise bataun chal raha hun kab se

meri ibtida zulmat hai tum chaho to is ko intiha kah lo

tayyun samt ka kaise ho kya tadid-e-saat ho

ab aise mein batao kaise tahdid-e-masafat ho

chalo chalte raho

koi aawaz kyun aati nahin

murdon pe shayad chal rahe hain hum

yahan rukne se pahle soch lo

kuchh aahaTen pichhe bhi hain apne

wo hum ko raund jaengi

chalo chalte raho

koi Tanka kahin TuTa hai sannaTe ke honTon ka

ye koi chiKH hai samjho kahin par mar gaya koi

kisi uftada dil par panw shayad dhar gaya koi

chalo chalte raho

koi suraj kisi ki aastin se phir hamein aawaz deta hai

aur is aawaz se had-e-nazar tak raushni si hai

koi suraj koi mashal

koi jugnu koi tara

koi aawaz koi chiKH

kuchh bhi ho sabhi marte hain

lekin marte marte raushni ki gunj ban jate hain

aao gunj se jhaDte shararon ko sameTen

un ke resham se mulaem tir sinon mein chhupa len

zaKHm kar len dil ko

aur phir zaKHm se gul gul se naghmon ki lawen mangen

phir un ko jab talak chalna hai koi nam de len

KHwab kah len ya haqiqat

ye safar hai aur andhera mustaqil hai

apni aawazon ko apna ham-safar kar len

chalo chalte raho

wo rah-raw sans jis ki chhu rahi hai meri aahaT ko

nahin wo tum nahin ho

meri parchhain hai

tum bhi apni parchhain koi taKHliq kar lo

karwan tum bhi ho aur main bhi

hum apni apni zulmat apni apni raushni KHud hain

luTe jitna koi us ke liye itna andhera hai!
