Rishwat
log hum se roz kahte hain ye aadat chhoDiye
ye tijarat hai KHilaf-e-admiyat chhoDiye
is se bad-tar lat nahin hai koi ye lat chhoDiye
roz aKHbaron mein chhapta hai ki rishwat chhoDiye
bhul kar bhi jo koi leta hai rishwat chor hai
aaj qaumi pagalon mein raat din ye shor hai
kis ko samjhaen use khoden to phir paenge kya
hum agar rishwat nahin lenge to phir khaenge kya
qaid bhi kar den to hum ko rah par laenge kya
ye junun-e-ishq ke andaz chhuT jaenge kya
mulk bhar ko qaid kar de kis ke bas ki baat hai
KHair se sab hain koi do-chaar das ki baat hai
ye hawas ye chor bazari ye mahngai ye bhaw
rai ki qimat ho jab parbat to kyun na aae taw
apni tanKHwahon ke nale mein hai pani aadh-paw
aur lakhon Tan ki bhaari apne jiwan ki hai naw
jab talak rishwat na len hum dal gal sakti nahin
naw tanKHwahon ke pani mein to chal sakti nahin
rishwaton ki zindagi hai chor-bazari ke sath
chal rahi hai be-zari ahkaam-e-zardari ke sath
phurtiyan chuhon ki hain billi ki tarrari ke sath
aap roken KHwah kitni hi sitamgari ke sath
hum nahin hilne ke sun lije kisi bhaunchaal se
kaam ye chalta rahega aap ke iqbaal se
ye hai mil wala wo baniya hai ye sahukar hai
ye hai dukan-dar wo hai wed ye attar hai
wo agar Thag hai to ye Daku hai wo baT-mar hai
aaj har gardan mein kali jit ka ek haar hai
haif mulk-o-qaum ki KHidmat-guzari ke liye
rah gae hain ek hamin iman-dari ke liye
bhuk ke qanun mein iman-dari jurm hai
aur be-imaniyon par sharmsari jurm hai
dakuon ke daur mein parhez-gari jurm hai
jab hukumat KHam ho to puKHta-kari jurm hai
log aTkate hain kyun roDe hamare kaam mein
jis ko dekho KHair se nanga hai wo hammam mein
tond walon ki to ho aaina-dari wah wa
aur hum bhukon ke sar par chand-mari wah wa
un ki KHatir subh hote hi nahaari wah wa
aur hum chaTa karen iman-dari wah wa
seTh ji to KHub motor mein hawa khate phiren
aur hum sab jutiyan galiyon mein chaTKHate phiren
KHub haq ke aastan par aur jhuke apni jabin
jaiye rahne bhi dije naseh-e-gardun-nashin
tauba tauba hum bhaDi mein aa ke aur dekhen zamin
aankh ke andhe nahin hain ganTh ke pure nahin
hum phaTak sakte nahin parhez-gari ke qarib
aql-mand aate nahin iman-dari ke qarib
is girani mein bhala kya ghuncha-e-iman khile
jau ke dane saKHt hain tanbe ke sikke pil-pile
jaen kapDe ke liye to dam sun kar dil hile
jab gareban ta-ba-daman aae to kapDa mile
jaan bhi de de to saste dam mil sakta nahin
aadmiyat ka kafan hai doston kapDa nahin
sirf ek patlun silwana qayamat ho gaya
wo silai li miyan darzi ne nanga kar diya
aap ko malum bhi hai chal rahi hai kya hawa
sirf ek tie ki qimat ghonT deti hai gala
halki Topi sar pe rakhte hain to chakraata hai sar
aur jute ki taraf baDhiye to jhuk jata hai sar
thi buzurgon ki jo banyain wo baniya le gaya
ghar mein jo gaDhi kamai thi wo gaDha le gaya
jism ki ek ek boTi gosht wala le gaya
tan mein baqi thi jo charbi ghi ka pyala le gaya
aai tab rishwat ki chiDiya pankh apne khol kar
warna mar jate miyan kutte ki boli bol kar
pattharon ko toDte hain aadmi ke ustuKHan
sang-bari ho to ban jati hai himmat saeban
peT mein leti hai lekin bhuk jab angDaiyan
aur to aur apne bachche ko chaba jati hai man
kya bataen baziyan hain kis qadar haare hue
rishwaten phir kyun na len hum bhuk ke mare hue
aap hain fazl-e-KHuda-e-pak se kursi-nashin
intizam-e-saltanat hai aap ke zer-e-nagin
aasman hai aap ka KHadim to launDi hai zamin
aap KHud rishwat ke zimmedar hain fidwi nahin
baKHshte hain aap dariya kashtiyan khete hain hum
aap dete hain mawaqe rishwaten lete hain hum
Thik to karte nahin buniyaad-e-na-hamwar ko
de rahe hain galiyan girti hui diwar ko
sach bataun zeb ye deta nahin sarkar ko
paliye bimariyon ko mariye bimar ko
illa-e-rishwat ko is duniya se ruKHsat kijiye
warna rishwat ki dhaDalle se ijazat dijiye
bad bahut bad-shakl hain lekin badi hai naznin
jaD ko bose de rahe hain peD se chin-bar-jabin
aap go pani ulachte hain ba-tarz-e-dil-nashin
naw ka suraKH lekin band farmate nahin
koDhiyon par aastin kab se chaDhae hain huzur
koDh ko lekin kaleje se lagae hain huzur
dast-kari ke ufuq par abr ban kar chhaiye
jahl ke ThanDe lahu ko ilm se garmaiye
kar-KHane kijiye qaem mashinen laiye
un zaminon ko jo mahw-e-KHwab hain chaunkaiye
KHwah kuchh bhi ho munDhe ye bail chaDh sakti nahin
mulk mein jab tak ki paida-war baDh sakti nahin
dil mein jitna aae luTen qaum ko shah-o-wazir
khinch le KHanjar koi joDe koi chille mein tir
be-dhaDak pi kar gharibon ka lahu akDen amir
dewta ban kar rahen to ye ghulaman-e-haqir
doston ki galiyan har aan sahne dijiye
KHana-zadon ko yunhi shaitan rahne dijiye
dam ek chhoTe se kuze ke hain sau jam-e-bilur
mol lene jaen ek qatra to den nahr-o-qusur
ek diya jo bechta hai mangta hai sham-e-tur
ek zara se sang-reze ki hai qimat koh-e-nur
jab ye aalam hai to hum rishwat se kya tauba karen
tauba rishwat kaisi hum chanda na len to kya karen
zulf us co-operatiwe silsile ki hai daraaz
chheDte hain hum kabhi to wo kabhi rishwat ka saz
gah hum bante hain qumri gah wo bante hain baz
aap ko malum kya aapas ka ye raaz-o-niyaz
naw hum apni khiwate bhi hain aur khete bhi hain
rishwaton ke lene wale rishwaten dete bhi hain
baadshahi taKHt par hai aaj har shai jalwa-gar
phir rahe hain Thokaren khate zar-o-lal-o-guhar
KHas chizen qimaten un ki to hain aflak par
aab-KHora munh phulata hai aTThanni dekh kar
chauda aane ser ki aawaz sun kar aaj-kal
lal ho jata hai ghusse se TamaTar aaj-kal
nastaran mein naz baqi hai na gul mein rang-o-bu
ab to hai sehn-e-chaman mein KHar-o-KHas ki aabru
KHurdani chizon ke chehron se Tapakta hai lahu
rupae ka rang faq hai ashrafi hai zard-ru
haal ke sikke ko mazi ka jo sikka dekh le
sau rupe ke note ke munh par do anni thuk de
waqt se pahle hi aai hai qayamat dekhiye
munh ko Dhanpe ro rahi hai aadmiyat dekhiye
dur ja kar kis liye taswir-e-ibrat dekhiye
apne qibla 'josh' sahab hi ki haalat dekhiye
itni gambhiri pe bhi mar-mar ke jite hain janab
sau jatan karte hain to ek ghunT pite hain janab
