Agar Unhen Malum Ho Jae

wo zindagi ko Daraate hain

maut ko rishwat dete hain

aur us ki aankh par paTTi bandh dete hain

wo hamein tohfe mein KHanjar bhejte hain

aur ummid rakhte hain

hum KHud ko halak kar lenge

wo chiDiya-ghar mein

sher ke pinjre ki jali ko kamzor rakhte hain

aur jab hum wahan sair karne jate hain

us din wo sher ka raatib band kar dete hain

jab chand TuTa phuTa nahin hota

wo hamein ek jazire ki sair ko bulate hain

jahan na mare jaane ki zamanat ka kaghaz

wo kashti mein idhar udhar kar dete hain

agar unhen malum ho jae

wo achchhe qatil nahin

to wo kanpne lagen

aur un ki naukariyan chhin jaen

wo hamare mare jaane ka KHwab dekhte hain

aur tabir ki kitabon ko jala dete hain

wo hamare nam ki qabr khodte hain

aur us mein luT ka mal chhupa dete hain

agar unhen malum bhi ho jae

ki hamein kaise mara ja sakta hai

phir bhi wo hamein nahin mar sakte
