Kyun

Leke Qallam o kitaab main

Betha hua apni ghaar me

Apni akkar apni khaar me

Dur hua sansaar se Kyun?

Koi samjhay na ramz mera?

Kyun Bujh gaya shams mera?

Kyun utray na qarz mera?

Pura nahi hua farz mera, Kyun?

Aage dikhay mujhe baatin

Sab guzray me saakin

Har aafat ka zaamin

Chalaa aakhir ki jaanib Kyun?

Pur itmenaan me, Khush betha hun zawaal pe

Khush kyun is haal me?

Kyun betha chup chaap me?

Jab hun raazdaar me, Sab ke raaz jaan ke

Hanstay lutnay waalay se puch

Zawaal pe betha jo dekh ke urooj

In gardishon ki qaid me, Is jadd o jehad me

Zehen ke shetaano ko jism ki bait me

Karke qaid khud, khud pe hi haawi

Kheenchun me dairay aur charkhay masaawi

Juggatton pe hans ke me lughaton me likh lun

Me Shia hun? Kafir hun? Sunni hun Sikh hun?

Me kya hun? Kahan hun? kab tak aur kyun hun?

Kyun ab bhi is aas me ke KUN FAYA KUN ho?

Koi mitti kaffan do, dedo koi phanday

Dedo is laash ko qabbar tak ke kandhay

Me zabt e musalsal me, zabt hun is daldal me

Karta hun wird aur qalmay me kal kal ke

Hulchul me kharch kardi saansain ye saari

Khareedi hain khud hi ye khudkush bemaari

Mere lafzon me dhoondo na chain aur sakoon

Jab qallam pe siyaahi ki jagah ho khoon

Kyun? Nahi saada mizaaj me?

Ya hun saada samaaj se?

Sab faiday uthaa ke, bahaanay banaa ke

Kehtay Allah Hafiz me jaun kahaan pe?

Kyun? Be rukh hun me darr se?

Be khabbar me Qabbar se

Banaata phirun kya minaar sang e mar mar ke?

(Sadaa mar mar ke)

Kyun ye rooh samjhay khud ko kedaar?

Kyun ye zameer har baar zimmedaar?

Har waar me main haar ke reh gaya is paar main

Ab khud se hi jang hun khud se me tang

In rangon me basnay ka, rachnay ka dhang nahi

Shayad tabhi tanha koi mere sang nahi

Jo sach na uglay tu mera qallam nahi

Kyun ab tak tootay ye mere bharram nahi?
