Ae khuda bata zara....

Ae khuda bata zara..
kab tak gareeb ko tadpayega...
kya nahi wo tera banda...
bhala kab tak sahta jayega...

aankh khuli to roya wo bhi...
tha wo bhi utna hi masum...
kuch nahi tha to ek makhmali chaadar...
naa hi tha wo haspataal...
ghar k kamre mein hi kahin...
jaga tha wo nanha farishta,
maa k pyare se aanchal se...
dekh raha tha ye sansaar...
bheegi palkon se pita ki...
chalak utha saara dulaar...
lutana chahe wo bhi sab kuch aaj...
kya khushiyan bhi hain paison ki mohtaaz...

ae khuda bata zara...
kab tak gareeb ko tadpayega...
kya nahi wo tera banda...
bhala kab tak sahta jayega...


jab na mila jhulne ko paalna...
jhulaya maa ne apni god mein,
naa mila jab khelne ko ghoda...
paya usne ghoda apne hi baap mein,
gaay to thi par dudh na tha...
shayad isiliye wo majboot na tha...
peekar din bhar sirf paani...
khilaya usko haathon se...
bahakar din bhar khoon pasina...
sichaya usko din raaton se...
jaag jaag kar raat raat bhar...
usko sulaya apni baaton se...
lutana chahe jab wo sab kuch aaj...
kya sapne bhi hain paison k mohtaaz..

ae khuda bata zara...
kab tak gareeb ko tadpayega...
kya nahi wo tera banda...
bhala kab tak sahta jayega...


Hosh sambhala pita se pucha
kya main bhi kuch ban paunga
taang kamar par baste ko
kya main bhi school jaunga
ya tinku minku ki tarah
main bhi khet mein aaunga
is dhoop mein nanhe per jalakar
kya main bhi hal chalaunga
dekhkar masumiyat uske chehre par...
bhar aayi pita ki aankhen
laga liya jigar se usko...
sunkar bete ki baaten
band par uski hatheli
bola sun beta mere lal
tere liye is jeevan mein
kuch bhi main kar jaunga
din raat khudko main jalakar
tujhko zarur padhaunga
main tujhko zarur padhaunga
kya teri banayi duniya mein
aarmaan bhi hain paison k mohtaaz...

ae khuda bata zara...
kab is gareeb ka bhi waqt aayega
kya nahi wo tera banda
bhala kab tak sehta jayega...

gaon mein vidyalaya na hone par
shahar jaa pahucha insaan
lekar saath apni jholi mein
jo bhi kama paaya kisaan
naa khaya kabhi bhar pet usne
naa kabhi bana paya makaan
magar putra ki ichcha puri karne
naa aaya uske kuch bhi dhyaan
kya pta tha vidya k mandir mein
ab baithe hain haivaan
khai thokar har mandir mein
jahan kabhi batta tha gyaan...
bik rahi thi vidya unme
ab bik chuka tha har insaan...
per pakde, gidgidaya
jhukakar apna wo imaan
par murdo ki basti mein
sirf baste the ab shaitaan...
sirf baste the ab shaitaan
kya gyaniyon ki is duniya mein
vidya bhi hai paison ki mohtaaz...

ae khuda bata zara...
kab is gareeb ka bhi waqt aayega...
kya nahi wo tera banda
bhala kab tak sehta jaayega...


din bhar apne ghar ki chokhat se
dekh raha tha pita ki ki rah...
padh likhkar banna tha doctor...
bas yahi thi uske dil ki chah...
dekh pita ko dur se aata...
khil utha sara parivaar...
par dekh kar aankhen nam pita ki...
samajh gaya wo sara saar...
bin panpe us nanhe dil ki...
murjha gayi saari bahaar...
batakar patni ko saari beeten,
usne kosa apni kismat ko
aaj padhne k liya bhi
aaj har kisi ko rishwat do...
dekh bete ki haalat ko...
sambhal na khudko wo paya,
bechkar gehne aur samaan ko
liya usne jo le paya,
lekar karz apne seene par,
bete ko bharti karaya...
uska pyaar bete k liye
naa tha paison ka mohtaaz...

ae khuda bata zara
kab is gareeb ka bhi waqt aayega
kya nahi wo tera banda,
bhala kab tak sehta jaayega...


din raat pasina bahakar bhi
naa chuka paya wo karz...
chhati cheer is dharti ki
nibha raha wo pita ka farz...
pita ki haalat se anjaan
padh raha tha wo balwaan..
saare khel chhod chhad kar
sirf padhai mein hi tha uska dhyaan...
bhuka raha kar us baap ne
seencha apne bete ko,
dekar usko saari khushiyan
bacha na paaya apne praan...
bacha naa paya apne praan...
marte samay bhi haath jod kar
maangi bete se shamaa,
beta mujhko maaf karna
na paaya main kamaa...
majhdaar mein tujhkar akela chhodkar
jaa raha main pardes...
maa ka apni dhyaan rakhna
naa pahuche usko kabhi bhi thhess...
aaj apne bete ki nazar mein
baadshah tha wo betaaj
pita ka pyar na tha na hoga
in paison ka mohtaaz... in paison ka mohtaaz

ae khuda bata zara
kab is gareeb ka bhi waqt aayega,
kya nahi wo tera banda
bhala kab tak sehta jaayega...
bhala kab tak sahta jayega


maa k kando par ab
thi sari zimmedari
gharon mein bartan maaz maaz kar
nibhayi usne wo sari...
bete ko padhane k liye bas
sab sahti gayi naari
padi bimar chahe hui laachar
par usne himmat naa haari
apne bachche k liye usne
sari apni khushiyan vaari...
khari khoti sunkar logon ki
karti gayi wo apna kaam
sahti gayi sare dukh wo
lekar sirf tera hi naam
dekhkar maa ki haalat ko
beta thokar kha gaya,
chhod kar saari kitaaben
waapas gaon aa gaya
beta apni maa ki khaatir
kismat se takra gaya
kitaab kalam wale haathon mein
bail aur hal aa gaya
bikhar gaye sare sapne
khali haath khada tha aaj..
paison ki is dniyan mein
kya sapne bhi hain mohtaaz..

ae khuda bata zara
kab is gareeb ka waqt aayega
kya nahi wo tera banda
bhala kab tak sahta jayega


khoon paseene se seench kar
kheton mein phir daali jaan
maankar kheton ko pita usne
bhada diya uska bhi maan
chuka diya pita ka karz
din raat usne mehnat karke
kosa khudko pita ki maut par
padhne ki ichcha karke
din sudhre to shaadi ho gayi
ghar aa gayi grahini..
khushiyon k din na rehte zada
phir hua tera prahaar
ek baar phr us gaon ne
saha sukhe ka prahaar
khet sukh gaye paani na milkar
phir chali gayi bahaar
roya phir wo bilakh bilakh kar
lut gaya saara sansaar
naa milne se dawai
maa bhi uski chal basi...
bhul chuka tha wo ab tak
kya hoti hai khushi
kya tere in paison ki...
khushiyan bhi hain mohtaaz...

ae khuda bata zara
kab is gareeb ka waqt aayega
kya nahi wo tera banda
bhala kab tak sehta jaayega...


diya janam jab beti ko
khushi ko apni maar gaya
soch kar apni haalat wo
phir se chakkar kha gaya
saha jo usne zindagi bhar
wo beti na saha paayegi
dekhkar usko is haalat mein
kaise maa raha paayegi
sochkar saari baaton ko
mar gaya uska insaan
tod kar saari hadon ko
le liye usne bachchi k praan
cheen kar maa se uski bachchi
rah na paaya wo sukhi
chhod gayi biwi bhi usko
kar gayi usko aur dukhi
raha gaya akela is duniya mein
par chahta tha wo bhi yahi
jo dekha uske maa baap ne
na dekhe biwi bachchi wahi
kha gayi bhukmari bhi usko
le chali uske praan
jate jate phir bhi usne
liya tera hi naam bhagwan
samajh gaya tha wo itna to
zindagi hai paison ki mohtaaz

ae khuda bata zara
kab is gareeb ka waqt aayega
kya nahi wo tera banda
bhala kab tak sehta jayega
bhala kab tak sehta jayega
kab tak sahega tera prakop wo
bta kab tak use tadpayega
ek din aisa aayega
jab sabr ka pul tut jayega
kya nahi wo tera banda...
bhala kab tak sehta jayega
