[waheed ahmed]

Ke ameer ho yaa ghareeb ho
sabhi hawis ka shikaar haiN
kaheeN do gaz zameeN nahii milti
murdah dafnaane ke liye
tu kahiiN aise muhallaat ke aadmi
un ki bhool bhaliyyouN maiN gum ho jaaye
undar jaaye tu waapsii ka rasta dhondhe
aabaadi braH rahi he
khaiti kamho rahii he
Ghareeb bhooka mer rahaa he
ameer jitna khaate nahii us se 10 guna
zyadah ajnaas kachre maiN phaink dete haiN
ye kesii taraqii he
ye kese khuwaas haiN
Na chaand pe tumhaiN kuch milaa he
Na mureekh pe tumhaiN kuch mile gaa
tu logo
aao lot jaate haiN
pathar ke zamane maiN
phir se.
