amn kaa jo paiGaam sunaane vaale hai.n
galiyo.n galiyo.n aag lagaane vaale hai.n
tum le jaao nezaa Khanjar aur talvaar
ham maqtal me.n sar le jaane vaale hai.n
zulm ke kaale baadal se Daranaa kaisaa
ye mausam to aane jaane vaale hai.n
biimaaro.n kaa ab to Khudaa hii haafiz hai
saare masiihaa zahar pilaane vaale hai.n
** This was a satire on the state on medical
schools and the attitude of doctors in India
these days **
jaan bachaane vaale to sab hai.n lekin
ab kitane imaan bachaane vaale hai.n
ham ko un valiyo.n kii nisbat haasil hai
dasht ko jo gul_zaar banaane vaale hai.n
bhuukaa rah ke saa_il ko Khairaat jo de
ham bhii 'Majid' usii gharaane vaale hai.n
