    Interesting Fact

    washington kii sair karte hue

    kal washington shahr ham ne sair bahut yaar

    guuñj rahī thī sab duniyā meñ jis jai-jai-kār

    mulkoñ mulkoñ ham ghūme the banjāroñ misl

    lekin is saj-dhaj sach-much dil-dāroñ misl

    raushniyoñ ke rañg baheñ yuuñ rasta nazar na aa.e

    man āñkhoñ vaalā bhī yaañ andhā ho ho jaa.e

    ūñche baam charāġhāñ raste rūp-bhare bāzār

    jāgtī āñkhoñ se dekhā hai ḳhvāboñ sansār

    ek safed imārat jis nagar nagar meñ dhuum

    andar duniyā bhar kālak bāhar se ma.asūm

    yahī safed imārat jis meñ bahut baḌī sarkār

    yahīñ kareñ saudāgar chhoTī qaumoñ bevpār

    yahīñ pe jādū-gar baiThā jab kahīñ Dor hilā.e

    har bastī nagasaki hiroshima ban jaa.e

    isī imārat se kuchh duur ik kaalī dīvār

    logoñ mela aisā lagā thā jaise koī tyauhār

    is kaalī dīvār pe kanda dekhe hazāroñ naam

    un nāmoñ ke biich likhā thā shohdā-e-vietnam

    ās-pās to jam.a huā thā ḳhilqat amboh

    sab āñkhoñ meñ sannāTā chehroñ par andoh

    bekal bahneñ ghāyal maa.eñ aur dukhī bevāyeñ

    sājan tum kis des sidhāre socheñ mahbūbā.eñ

    apne pyāroñ dil-dāroñ ojhal mukhḌā DhūñDeñ

    is kaalī dīvār pe un ke naam TukḌā DhūñDeñ

    diloñ meñ dukh āñkhoñ meñ shabnam hāthoñ meñ phuul uThā.e

    is nāmoñ ke qabristān bhed koī kyā paa.e

    turbat katba koī haDDī maas

    phir bhī pāgal naināñ ko thī piyā milan aas

    kahīñ kahīñ is kaalī sil par koī safed gulāb

    yuuñ be-tāb paḌā thā jaise andhī aañkh ḳhvāb

    kāñTā ban kar sabhī ke dil meñ khaTke ek savāl

    kis kāran miTTī meñ milā.e hīroñ jaise laal

    Ho-chi-minh ke des meñ ham ne kyā kyā sitam na Dhaa.e

    us ke jiyāle to āzādī sūraj le aa.e

    lekin itne chāñd gañvā kar ham ne bhalā kyā paayā

    ham bad-qismat aise jin ko dhuup milī saayā

    mukh motī de kar hāsil ye kaalī dīvār

    ye kaalī dīvār jo hai bas ik ḳhālī dīvār

    ye kaalī dīvār jo hai nāmoñ qabristān

    washington ke shahr meñ dafn haiñ kis kis ke armān

    kal washington shahr ki hum ne sair bahut ki yar

    gunj rahi thi sab duniya mein jis ki jai-jai-kar

    mulkon mulkon hum ghume the banjaron ki misl

    lekin is ki saj-dhaj sach-much dil-daron ki misl

    raushniyon ke rang bahen yun rasta nazar na aae

    man ki aankhon wala bhi yan andha ho ho jae

    unche baam charaghan raste rup-bhare bazar

    jagti aankhon se dekha hai KHwabon ka sansar

    ek safed imarat jis ki nagar nagar mein dhum

    andar duniya bhar ki kalak bahar se masum

    yahi safed imarat jis mein bahut baDi sarkar

    yahin karen saudagar chhoTi qaumon ka bewpar

    yahin pe jadu-gar baiTha jab kahin ki Dor hilae

    har basti nagasaki hiroshima ban jae

    isi imarat se kuchh dur hi ek kali diwar

    logon ka mela aisa laga tha jaise koi tyauhaar

    is kali diwar pe kanda dekhe hazaron nam

    un namon ke bich likha tha shohda-e-wietnam

    aas-pas to jama hua tha KHilqat ka amboh

    sab ki aankhon mein sannaTa chehron par andoh

    bekal bahnen ghayal maen aur dukhi bewayen

    sajan tum kis des sidhaare sochen mahbubaen

    apne pyaron dil-daron ka ojhal mukhDa DhunDen

    is kali diwar pe un ke nam ka TukDa DhunDen

    dilon mein dukh aankhon mein shabnam hathon mein phul uThae

    is namon ke qabristan ka bhed koi kya pae

    na turbat na katba koi na haDDi na mas

    phir bhi pagal nainan ko thi piya milan ki aas

    kahin kahin is kali sil par koi safed gulab

    yun be-tab paDa tha jaise andhi aankh ka KHwab

    kanTa ban kar sabhi ke dil mein khaTke ek sawal

    kis karan miTTi mein milae hiron jaise lal

    Ho-chi-minh ke des mein hum ne kya kya sitam na Dhae

    us ke jiyale to aazadi ka suraj le aae

    lekin itne chand ganwa kar hum ne bhala kya paya

    hum bad-qismat aise jin ko dhup mili na saya

    mukh moti de kar hasil ki ye kali diwar

    ye kali diwar jo hai bas ek KHali diwar

    ye kali diwar jo hai namon ka qabristan

    washington ke shahr mein dafn hain kis kis ke arman
