Sachai chhupai gayi, afwaah bhi udayi gayi,
Jazbaat jo sach the, hawaon mein udaye gaye.
Kahani kuch aur thi, par kuch aur sunayi gayi,
Jo sach tha, bas woh baat hi chhupai gayi.

Zameer se ladta tha, sachai ka yeh qissa,
Har soorat mein jeet jaye, aisa tha yeh jazba.
Logon ki baaton ne gumraah banaya,
Sach ka ehsaas, bas dhoondhne se hi paaya.

Dil ki kashti thi beech majhdhaar mein,
Sachai ki leheron se laachar thi.
Afwaahon ki aandhi ne usse dooba diya,
Haqeeqat ki zameen kahin kho gayi thi.

Jahan sach tha, wahan andhera cha gaya,
Afwaahon ka shor, har roshni ko kha gaya.
Zindagi ke safar mein, sachai ki raahein muskil ho gayi,
Aur afwaahon ne har sach ko dhoondh dala.

Logon ke dilon mein shak ka beej boya gaya,
Sach ke ped ko jhooth se dhooya gaya.
Asliyat se pare, ek dhundhli raah bana di gayi,
Sachai ke rangon ko safed chadar se dhaka gaya.

Aankhon mein aansu, sach ka dard lekar aaya,
Afwaah ke shor ne sach ke saaye dhundhlaaye.
Jo dil mein tha sach, usse kehne ki himmat na thi,
Afwaahon ki aandhi ne sachai ko barbad kar diya.

Dil jo kehna chaahe, woh keh na paaya,
Sach ke honthon ko chhupne par majboor kiya.
Afwaah ke shor mein sach ka astitva kho-sa gaya,
Aur ek nayi kahani beech raste mein hi roka gaya.

Par sachai ka kissa, kab tak chhupaya jaayega?
Jhooth ke pairon se, kab tak udan bharwaya jaayega?
Kisi din sach, apni roshni bikher hi dega,
Aur afwaahon ka jadoo, ek din khatam ho hi jayega.

Chup na reh paayegi sachai ki awaaz,
Afwaah ke badalon mein chamak uthegi woh saaz.
Jinhone sach ko chhupane ki, kari thi koshish kabhi,
Wohi log afsos mein, apne khud-ke kholegey raaz.

Din dhalte hi, sach ka ujaala hoga,
Afwaahon ke sab rang fike pad jaayenge.
Aur phir, jo sach chhupaya gaya tha,
Woh hi ek din sabke saamne aayega.

Sachai chhupai gayi, afwaah bhi udayi gayi,
Jazbaat jo sach the, hawaon mein udaye gaye.
Kahani kuch aur thi, par kuch aur sunayi gayi,
Jo sach tha, bas woh baat hi chhupai gayi.
