Samar Kabir

raat basti jali gharibon ki
sub.h akhbar ho ga.e raushan

qadam qadam pe mire khvab jal rahe hain yahan
main is zamin ko jannat banane aaya tha

meri mazduri ke paise mujhe de do malik
aaj beTi miri sasural se aa.i hui hai

in gharib logon ki ye 'ajib mushkil hai
sar jhuka ke kahte hain sar nahin jhuka.enge

jo mire sochne ki baten hain
dusre sochte hain mere liye

aur thoDa sa zahr ghulne do
aadmi aadmi ko tarsega

jo mire sochne ki baatein hain
dusre sochte hain mere liye

miyaan majnun to kab ke mar chuke hain
magar haathon mein patthar hai abhi tak

koi jaldi nahin hai soch lenaa
abhi inkaar ki gunjaaishein hain

in gharib logon ki ye 'ajib mushkil hai
sar jhukaa ke kahte hain sar nahin jhukaaeinge

raat basti jali gharibon ki
subh akhbaar ho gae raushan

qadam qadam pe mire khvaab jal rahe hain yahaan
main is zamin ko jannat banaane aayaa thaa
