Ye bade shahar..

Ye insaano ki andhi bheed,
ye chhilte pair...ye jhukte sir..
mujhko raas nahi aate,
ye bade shahar..ye chhote ghar

ek zarra mitti ka nahi,
jise me apna keh saku..
ye ameeriyat k naye safay,
bass ek takiya aur chaadar

ek katra jeene ki khatir,
meelon tak chalna bedum..
shaam dhale phir gin lena,
kuchh ghutati saanse mutthibhar


udane ki chaah liye aaye,
bairan mitti par paday hue..
ab aasmaan ko taakate,
ye khuun se lathpath katatay parr

ye jung bhi kaisi jung hai,
ke saans mili ya fateh mili..
ye sahme chehron ke naasuur,
ye cheekhte haathon mein pathhar!

mujhko raas nahi aate...
ye bade shahar..ye chhote ghar..
