Zinda Lash
Yeh Karachi roshni mein
bhi andha
lagta hai
Har chehra hansta hua
andar
se tanha lagta hai
Kisi ke bachay bhook se so jate hain raat ko Kisi ke
kutte khate gosht sone ki plate par Kisi ke paas note hain
hadd se zyada Kisi ke ghar mein aata bhi udhaar par Yahan
mehnat bhi thak kar gir jati hai Aur sifarish bina har raah
mar jati hai Sach bolne wala akela reh jata hai Jhoot ki
mehfil roz saj jati hai
Yeh kaisa nizaam hai
Jahan gareeb ka dard bhi tamasha lagta hai
Aur ameer ka gunah bhi
Sirf ek chhota sa masla lagta hai
Hum zinda lashain hain iss Karachi mein Saans to chalti hai magar
dil nahi
Har taraf paisay ka qanoon chalta hai Insaaniyat ka ab koi mol
nahi
Fatai ki awaaz sun Yeh sirf gana nahi awaam ka khoon hai
Har lafz mein jalti cheekh chhupi Yeh kalam nahi mazloom ka junoon
hai
Maa duaon mein roti reh jati hai Baap ki kamar bojh mein
toot jati hai
Par kursi walon ko kya ehsaas hoga Unki duniya alag hi chalti
jati hai Degree haath mein aankhon mein andhera
Naukri ke naam pe bas jhoota saverah Izzat bhi ab paison se
tolte hain log Sachha aadmi lagta sab ko bechara
Na talwar uthani hai
Na nafrat
phailani hai
Bas itna kehna hai
Insaan ko insaan samajhna hai
Hum zinda lashain hain iss Karachi mein Khwaab marte dekhe roz safar
mein Koi to awaaz uthao yahan Warna doob jayenge khamoshi ke zehar
mein
Jab gareeb rota hai
To Karachi ki deewarein bhi kaanpti hain
