AKHTAR RIZVI....GHAZAL

KIS KIS KO TUM PURSA DOGE
DAFNAOGE KITNI LAASHEN,
AAO MERE SHEHER ME DEKHO
ZINDA CHALTI PHIRTI LAASHEN...!

UJDI GODEN SOONI MANGEN
VEERAN CHEHRE LAB PAR PEHRE,
TAQAT KI MERAJ YEHI HAI
MAIDANO ME SADTI LAASHEN...!

JUNG BHI THANDI HO JAYEGI
SAMJHOTA BHI HO JAYEGA,
AAO YEH PEHLE FAISLA KAR LEN
KAUN GIRAYE KITNI LAASHEN...!

KAL BHI INKA QATL HUA THA
KAL BHI YEH NEELAM HUI THIN
AAJ BHI YEH BECHI JAYENGI
KAL KI RAUNDI KUCHLI LAASHEN...!

SHAM KO JAB RAATION JAYEGA
TAB GHAR ME CHULHA DEHKEGA,
SHAYAD ISS DHUN ME ZINDA HAIN
DIN BHAR PATHTHAR DHOTI LAASHEN...!

PALKON SE EK AANSU DHAL KAR
JANE KYA KYA KEH JATA HAI,
JALTI HAIN ZEHNO KI CHITA PAR
JAB JAB BHI SAPNO KI LAASHEN...!

'AKHTAR' TUM KYA SOCH RAHE HO
IN ME INSAN KOI NAHI HAI,
YEH HAIN HINDU MUSLIM LAASHEN
YEH HAIN SHIA SUNNI LAASHEN...!!
