Raftagan

tum yahan so jao

tum ko ye jagah bhi gar na milti tum gila hum se na karte

hum tumhaare sath kuchh miTTi diye jate hain

isi miTTi se ab ham-rang ho jao

ye sannaTa tumhaare sath hai ab is se ham-ahang ho jao

tumhaare chand suraj mar chuke hain

tumhaari raushni

zulmat

umid o na-umidi

naw kaghaz ki

gharaunde ret ke

bachpan jawani, umr ka ek ek lamha

tum jo murda aur zinda chhoDe jate ho

wo hum auron ko de denge

akele jis tarah aae ho tum wo sab bhi aaenge yahan tak

sab ye warna chhoD jaenge!

koi rahzan bane ya rah roke

ham-safar ho ya koi rasta dikhae

apna rasta sab ko tanha par karna hai

hamara kaam suli par chaDhana hai so hum karte hain

lekin bojh suli ka tumhein ko hai uThana

tum yahan so jao

apna bojh uThae hum bhi aaenge

hamare chand suraj bhi marenge!
