Nine Elewen

jab

gard-o-ghubar ka tufan meri jaanib baDhne laga

to mujhe yaad aaya ki

puri duniya mein aankhen ek jaise aansu bahati hain

aag mein ubalti hui haDDiyan

ek jaisi rangat iKHtiyar kar leti hain

lahu

jab jam jata hai

is ke surKH se siyah hone ka dauraniya ek jitna hota hai

gard-o-ghubar ke tufan ne sab kuchh Dhanp liya

magar hiroshima aur naga-saki ke khanDaraat phir se numudar hone lage hain

aur

saraiyo baghdad kabul aur ghazza ki galiyon mein khelne wale bachche

meri taraf dekh kar muskuraate hain
