A few heart touching lines from Javed Akthar, from "Tarkash"
The last two lines take the cake....

woh dhal raha hai,ye bhi rangat badal rahi hai,
zameen suraj ki ungliyon se phisal rahi hai,

jo mujhko zinda jala rahe hain woh bekhabar hain,
ki meri zanzeer dheere dheere pighal rahi hai,

main qatl to ho gaya tumhari gali main lekin,
mere lahu se tumhari deewr gal rahi hai,

na jalne pate the jinke chulhe bhi har savere,
suna hai kal raat se woh basti jal rahi hai,

main janta hoon ki khamshi main hi masalhat hai,
magar yahi maslahat mere dil ko khal rahi hai,

kabhi to insaan zindagi ki bhi karega izzat,
ye ek umeed aaj bhi dil main pal rahi hai,

[khamshi=khamaoshi, masalhat=samajhdari]
