kal khud ko becha kerte the ab khuda ko becha kerte hain

duniya ke saudon ki khaatir woh juba ko becha kerte hain,
jo kal khud ko becha kerte the, ab khuda ko becha kerte hain.

jinnke haathon mein church, mandir aur maszid ki chaabi hai,
jo sartaaz bane devalyon mein, woh log hi aisa kerte hain,
kal khud ko becha kerte the, ab khuda ko becha kerte hain.

subha se lekar shaam tak, jiss naam ko ratt-te rehte hain,
woh naam samaaj ke galiyaaron mein, yehi roz numaish kerte hain,
jo kal khud ko becha kerte the, ab khuda ko becha kerte hain.

pehle shahron ko bunte hain, kuch dharm ke jhuthe dhaagon se,
phir gharon ko torda kerte hain aur unnka safaaya kerte hain,
jo kal khud ko becha kerte the, ab khuda ko becha kerte hain.

jeete jee jiss shaks ko yeh pathar se mara kerte hain
marrne par uski laash ko yeh fulon se sajaaya kerte hain,
kal khud ko becha kerte the, ab khuda ko becha kerte hain.
