Salaam (A tribute to attack victims and their families)

By Atiya Sayyed

Ab seenon mein dil nahi pathhar dhadakte hain,

Chhupa ke khanjar hathon me dost gale lagte hain |

Badal liya hai zamane ne rang ab is qadar,

Ke insaan ke chehron mein chhup kar haiwaan panapte hain |

Ab seenon mein dil nahi pathhar dhadakte hain,

Chhupa ke khanjar hathon me dost gale lagte hain |

Rehte hain hum ek aise samaaj me, 

Jo kehne ko to jee raha hai aaj me,

Lekin zulm ke khilaaf aawaz uthane ko, 

hum aaj bhi gunaah samajhte hain |

Ab seenon mein dil nahi pathhar dhadakte hain,

Chhupa ke khanjar hathon mein dost gale lagte hain |

Afratafri machti hai har taraf har taraf shor uthta hai,

Tabahi ki  ek zara si chingari mein beshmaar ghar sulagte hain,

Lekin apna bhi ghar jal na ajaye kahin, 

ye soch ke khudko log khamosh rakhte hain |

Ab seenon mein dil nahi pathhar dhadakte hain,

Chhupa ke khanjar hathon mein dost gale lagte hain |

Beqasoor the wo phool jo murjha gaye waqt se pehle ,

Lekin nafraton ki aag mein aksar masoom hi jhulaste hain,

SALAAM hai un nam aankhon ko, SALAAM hai un kaanpte haathon ko,

Jo murda jigar ke tukde seene se lagaye tadapte hain,

Wo zinda to hote hain magar,

zinda rehne walon ki tarah na phir rote hain na phir haste hain |

Ab seenon mein dil nahi pathhar dhadakte hain,

Chhupa ke khanjar hathon mein dost gale lagte hain |
