BAASATH SAAL

Dekho baasath saal ho gaye ham sab ko azaad hue,

Main bhi baasath saalon se honn sarhad par tainaat khara,

Registani dhoop, hawaayen thandi oonche parwat ki,

Aandhi ya toofan kabhi kuch mujhko diga nahi paaya,

Lekin ab tanhai mein aksar mein socha karta hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera mein kuch lahta hoon ??

Tumne bola jang laro aur maine kabhi nahin socha,

Ismein mujhko kya haasil, na sahi ghalat hi kuch dekha,

Subeh se lekar shaam, shaam se subeh talak mein jagta hoon,

Tum logon ke bare khel ka mein adna sa Mohra hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera mein kuch lagta hoon ??

Tumne apne ghar bhar dale,phir bhi pet nahin bharta,

Kitna aur kama sakta hoon subeh sahaam socha karta,

Aakaashon se oonchi hoti jaati sabki ichhayein,

Is sab ke dauraan kabhi kya mein bhi tujhko dikhta hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera mein kuch lagta hoon ??

Aate ho tum kabhi kabhi Netaaon ka bhar ke Chola,

Jo kehte, sunte , karte ho, har-ik kadam naapa tola,

Phir tum wapas jaa kar apni duniyan main kho jaate ho,

Aur main tumko ruksat karke, pehre par char jaata hoon,

Mujhko mere desh batakya tera main kuch lagta hoon ??

Kal jab tum aaye the mujh tak, TV ki awaaz liye,

Parhe likhe logon ko us din tum aaye the saath liye,

Meri baatein kehte kehte, apni baatein keh dalin,

Tumse baatein karte karte main Nanga kyun dikhta hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera main kuch lagta hoon ??

Mujko kuch maalum nahin tha main to dil se bola tha,

Aur tumhari khatir to bas wo TV ka ik show tha,

Desh mera har raat 9 baje, bas ik vada leta hai,

Tumne mujh se jo bulwaya wo bas meetha dhoka tha,

Aise mein khud apne se hi main sharminda hota hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera main kuch lagta hoon ??

Wo jo mere sang jeete hain, marne ka dam bharte hain,

Bhaarat maa par mit jaane ka har pal wada karte hain,

Unko mein samjhaaoon kya, jab khud main samajh nahin paata,

Jo mujh ko pehchaan na paaye, main kyun un par marta hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera main kuch lagta hoon ??

Mere Bete maine apna Jeewan jis par hai vara,

Jis ki khaatir main jeeya aur jeewan jis par tha haara,

Mera desh nahin sun paaya mere dil ki awaazein,

Apne Bete ko ye keh kar, main sharminda hota hoon,

Mujhko mere desh bata kya tera main kuch lagta hoon ??

Jis din hum azaad hue the Sainik tab ik sapna tha,

Bhai tha ,beta tha sabka, main tum sab ka apna tha,

Beech safar main kahaan kho gaya, saath nahin chal paaya main,

Sarhad meri karm bhoomi hai, karm sada mein karta hoon,

Lekin mere desh bata kya tera main kuch lagta hoon ??
