Sahi Raah

Shuruaat mein thi jeb khaali, sapne the bade,
Raste the pathreele, har kadam pe the khade,
Log bole "yeh toh paagal hai, isse kuch na aana",
Maine chupchaap seekha apna rasta banana.
Na koi godfather, na peechhe koi khada,
Khud ki mehnat ke dum pe dekho aaj hoon main khada.
Raaton ko jaaga, kalam ko ragda,
Har ek lafz mera jaise lohe ka tukda!
Kismat pe rona mujhe aata nahi,
Jo haath mein na ho, usko main manta nahi.
Paseena bahaya, tab jaake naam bana,
Yeh safar hai aasan, yeh kisi ne kaha?
​Apni sharton pe jeena, yahi apna asool,
Humein girane waale nikle khud hi be-qasoor!
Dekh aasmaan yeh, abhi poori hai zameen,
Hum wo shikaari hain, jinki koi hadd nahi!
Hum wo shikaari hain, jinki koi hadd nahi!
​Ab mic pe jo aaya toh aag laga di,
Shor macha diya, saari duniya hila di.
Jo pehle mooh ferte the, ab saamne khade hain,
Puchte hain raaz, kyunki hum aage badhe hain.
Maine kaha: "Bhai, yeh toh bas shuruaat hai,"
Mehnat aur lagan ki poori yeh baat hai.
Fail hone ka dar maine dil se nikaala,
Andheron mein khud hi khud ko jalaala.
Ab sher ki dahaad hai, bhedon ki nahi,
Humari race mein doosra koi khada hi nahi.
Jo jalte hain mujhse, unka bhi shukriya,
Unke shaq ne hi toh mujhe aur zyaada jeetaya!
​Apni sharton pe jeena, yahi apna asool,
Humein girane waale nikle khud hi be-qasoor!
Dekh aasmaan yeh, abhi poori hai zameen,
Hum wo shikaari hain, jinki koi hadd nahi!
​Haan… bas chalte jaana hai,
Rukna mana hai.
Yeh kahani abhi shuru hui hai dost.
Peace out!
