Interesting Fact
(Dedicated to the Pathan child who was selling water on the road under Natha Khan Bridge in Karachi and died in a car accident)
pair meñ taptī dhuup pahan kar
sar par jaltā sūraj Tāñke
piiTh ko signal se chipkā.e
paanī bechne vaale saa.e
jin ke haath hamesha se bas paanī jante rahte haiñ
aur āñkhoñ se bas do hī duā.eñ uchhle jaa.eñ
jaltī dhuup aur battī surḳh
ek haath meñ jag aTkā.e
aur gilās meñ uñgliyāñ bhar kar apnā dūsrā haath uThā.e
ek hī ḳhvāb meñ kab se zinda
jaldī se ho signal surḳh
to gāḌiyāñ apnā saañs biThāne saḌak par Thahreñ
aur pasīne paanī māñgeñ
ham har ik gaaḌī ko chhū leñ
Thahrī khiḌkiyāñ haath se uchkeñ
jalte māthe bech ke ham bhī aaTh aane kī pyaas bujhā.eñ
jebeñ sikkoñ se bhar jaa.eñ
lekin ḳhvāb kahāñ samjheñge
umr kā signal surḳh huā
to gaaḌī duur nikal jā.egī
pair mein tapti dhup pahan kar
sar par jalta suraj Tanke
piTh ko signal se chipkae
pani bechne wale sae
jin ke hath hamesha se bas pani jante rahte hain
aur aankhon se bas do hi duaen uchhle jaen
jalti dhup aur batti surKH
ek hath mein jag aTkae
aur gilas mein ungliyan bhar kar apna dusra hath uThae
ek hi KHwab mein kab se zinda
jaldi se ho signal surKH
to gaDiyan apna sans biThane saDak par Thahren
aur pasine pani mangen
hum har ek gaDi ko chhu len
Thahri khiDkiyan hath se uchken
jalte mathe bech ke hum bhi aaTh aane ki pyas bujhaen
jeben sikkon se bhar jaen
lekin KHwab kahan samjhenge
umr ka signal surKH hua
to gaDi dur nikal jaegi
