Bada Sehar : Rajdhani

Na Raja bana na huva dil ka danni, yeh kaisee rajdhani hai

Gulshan kitne khile hai aaspass, dil mein magar bechaini hai

Iss sehar ko maine sab kuch diya bachpane se buraape tak

Yeh sehar itna bhooka hai kha gaya meri jawaani hai

Vachan jaye par pran na jaaye, iss sehar mein aisa hai chalan

Jis ki laathi ussi ki bhenes, taqatwar karta har manmaani hai

Mere gaon ka bachpan accha tha

Main garib tha par sacha tha

Sab jan mil jul k rehte they

Ghar aagan chahe kacha tha

Ab paisa mere pass hai khoob

Phir bhi na mittey iss ki bhook

Sukh chain par mere pass nahi

Na samaza kahan pe huvi hai chook

Kamre sab k alag hai ab

Door door rehte kyon hai sab

Pooja karne ka ghar mein mandir hai

Par door chala gaya hai rab

Saat saat rehne ka chalan hatt gaya

Alag alag rehne se pyar butt gaya

Jitni badi huvi deewaren

Pyar utna hi gutt gaya

Saat saat khana khane ko bhi

Main ab har roj hi tarsun

Mann mein itni aag lagi hai

Bina kaaran hi sab pe barsun

Khokhali ho gayi hai meri jindagi

Khul k jiyun toh bhi pabhandi

Amir hona gunha ho gaya

Mashoor ho k tabha ho gaya

Apni marzi se hasna muskil hai

Roh loon toh khabar ban jaye

Sab kuch pa k bhi maine kya paya

Khul k jeena bhi muje na aaye

Sirf meri yeh baat nahi hai, lakhun ki yehi kahani hai

Yeh sehar itna bhooka hai kha gaya meri jawaani hai

Sehar bada hai badi hain baathein

Rangeeniyaan le k khadi hain raatein

Malai sehar ki tujko bulaye

Jaye bina bhi raha na jaye

Kaam huvi main roj karta hoon

Jis ko karne se darta hoon

Atma jis ki nahi deti gawai

Lade mujse meri parchai

Phir bhi muje yehi kaam karna hai

Tabhi toh sabse aage badna hai

Peeche rehna ko haar hain kehte

Ik Raat k milan ko pyar hain kehte

Haar mujko bardash nahi hai

Kon kehta hai pyar ki pyas nahi hai

Par sabkuch deekhawe k liye hota hai

Akele mein mann bhi rohta hai

Mann ki baat sunavun kis ko

Geet bahut hain par gavun kis ko

Kisi geet k bole bhure hain

Kisi k sur hi besuru hain

Apni dunn bhi banayi na jaye

Dusare ki bhi churai na jaye

Besura ho gaya hai saara jeewan

Kis se poochain kahan gaya yovan

Dekho sehar mein koi naya aaya hai

Pooche maine kya khoya paya hai

Sukh chain shanti sab kuch kho k

Paisa daulat mehal chubare yehi mera sarmaya hai

Sab ko yeh sab kuch pata hai, nahi hoti kisi ko heraani hai

Yeh sehar itna bhooka hai kha gaya meri jawaani hai
