Sindh kay basiyon kay naam

Altaf Hussain

London – 26 January 2000

Iss Shah Latif ki dharti mein

Iss amn-o-pyar ki basti mein

Mein paida hooa iss dharti mein

Parwan charha iss basti mein

Khana bhi yahin ka khaya hai

Pani bhi issi dharti ka pya

Ab marna jeena sub kuch he

Iss dharti say hi jore leya

Phir mujh say door kyon rhetey ho?

Kyon mujh ko ghair samajhtey ho?

Mein tum say alug, tum mujh say judaa

Kyon aisi sochen rakhtey ho?

Apnon ko ghair samajhtey ho

Gheron ko apna samajhtey ho

Tum mano isey ya na mano

Yeh dharti meri dharti hai

Iss Shah Latif ki dharti ko

Mein apni dharti manta hoon

Ab iss kay silay mein tum mujh say

Kya chahtey ho? Yeh mujh say kaho

Kuch khul kar dil ki baat karo

Kuch mairay dil ki baat suno

Mein sub kuch wo kar guzroon ga

Tum mujh say jo bhi chahtey ho

Ik bar laga kar dil say mujhey

Tum apna samajh kar parkho to

Ik phool hoon mein apno kay leay

Aur aag hoon mein ghairoun kay leay

Seenay say laga kar daikho to

Dharti kay leay basti kay leay

Har din ye tamasha hota hai

Is dharti mein iss basti mein

Kay aapus mein hum lartey hein

Or dushman mauj hi kartay hein

Kub tak ye tamasha ho ga kay

Hum apna khoon hi kartay rahein

Aur saaray dushman, ghair subhi

Khushyoon ki mala japtay rahein

Ye sara tamasha khatm karein

Sub doori, talkhi mita dein hum

Dharti kay sukh ki khatir ub

Aapus mein aika kar lein hum

Tum haath jo aik baraho gay

Mein dono haath barahoon ga

Phir dil say dil mil jaain gay

Yoon hum sub aik ho jaain gay

THE END
