Chhalkaari

1947 tha san jab mili azadi Makhmal ko jalake tan pe rakh diya khadi Ek jut hoke, seena thoke thi khadi aabadi Cheekhein meelon tak ke band karo ye tanashahi Tanashahi nahi chalegi yaha pe ab tumhari Jali baat khali, khali padi hai yaha pe thali Bhot bhaari, insaaniyat ki zimmedaari Tabhi to bana hai karamchari krantikari Hai aatankvadi yaha pe jiske lafz hai bhaari Sirf tabahi, kore kaagaz pe chappa gandhi Kaali aandhi, ek mukhauta hai sirf ye azadi Azadi? hai ghulaami Ghulaam hai gareebi ke, ghulaam hai ameeri ke Ghulaam hai farebi ke, ghulaam hai zameeri ke Ghulaam dhokhadadi ke, ghulaam nafakhori ke Ghulaam seenajori ke, ghulaam rishwatkhori ke Ghulaam hai bimari ke, ghulaam hai beimaani ke Ghulaam hai haqdaari ke, ghulaam hai khuddari ke Bas naam ki azadi ke tarane ye suhane Jaane maane se ye lafz hai sune kaiyo ki zubaane Kis muh se pooche ye tu kya hai ye aukaat meri? Kis muh se pooche ye tu kya hai ye pehchaan meri? Kis muh se pooche ye tu banda hun mai desh ka? Jab bech khaya paisa tune karke humke andha yun hi Sadko pe baithe bhookhe bachho ko to chor dia Degree dekar bhi berozgaari me hi chor dia Andheri raaton me niraksha ladki, chor dia Humne tumko vote dia tumne humko chod dia Kyun kar rakhi hai tune abhi bhi ye chuppi dharan Saaf seedha ho raha hai napaki ka jab prasaran hatho me tere sabhi zariye aur sabhi saadhan Tu bhi jhukega kya bas kaafi nai hai ye hi kaaran Maun dharan, mat kar ye padega bhaari Awaz uthane ki baari chalegi shabdo ki aari Kamzori jo jari to fir kal ye humko baant denge Aj agar tu chup hai kal zubaan teri kaat denge
