mantoiyat

raftaar!

sawaal ye hai ke jo cheez jaisi hai

use waise hi pesh kyon na kiya jaye

main to apni kahaaniyon ko ek aaina samajhta hu

jisme samaaj apne aap ko dekh sake, dekh sake..

aaina na dekhna chahe samaaj mera

pooche mera kal na dekhte ye aaj mera

khodte kharodte ye meri galtiyan

main bhi chal diya

meri soch pe hai raj mera

kaan band, aakhein band

inke muh pe taale

inpe zor na ke satya pe prakash daale

bole sach jo uske chehre pe tezaab daale

ghoome phir khule mein

aur jale to wo nakaab daale

off hai, dimaag sabka off hai

zamana kya kahega iska hi to sabko khauf hai

dabke jeete hain, dabaane ke ye aadi hain

s*x nishedh hai to itni kyon aabaadi hai

log ye hain aatma se khokhle

khud kare to theek, baaqi galat dogle

gaali de to hindi mein

to bolein aisa kyon kiya

f*ck kyon hai cool jane galat kyon hai chu*iya

kya is tarah ke alfaz hamein sadkon pe sunai nahi padte

manto ek insan hai

man, manto ek insan hai

manto ek insan hai

manto ek insan hai

mujh par ilzam hai

mujh par, mujh par

mujh par ilzam hai

mujh par ilzam hai

manto ek insan hai

jaat mein ye baant’te hain

baant ke ye kaat’te hain

katne wale khaat pe hain

inki mauj raat mein hai

lal batti waali gaadi

glass inke hath mein hai

rajneeti mein hain chor

police inke saath mein

meri baat tumko sach nai lagti

sachchi baat tumko yaara pach nai sakti

mujhse nasamajh hain dugne meri age ke

ek pair kabra mein ye bhookhe hain dahej ke

betiyon ko maarte, betiyan na paalte

betiyon pe dusron ki nazrein gandi daalte

ladkiyan pata ke unko bandi bolte hain aur

aur jo razi na ho unko saale ran*i bolte hain

babaron se, maa pe thos hath jo uthayega

bezuban bolne se pehle seekh jayega

mard tab banega jab tu aurtein dabayega

soch ye rahi to jaldi desh doob jayega

main society ki choli kya utarunga?

jo pehle se hi nangi hai

usse kapde pehnana mera kaam nahi hai

main kaali takhti par safed chalk istemaal karta hu

taaki kaali takhti aur numaya ho jaaye

manto ek insan

main ghanton padha hai tumko manto

tumhare jaisa banun kare mera mann to

in bandon ko sach nai dikhta

70 saal azadi ke sach aaj bhi nai bikta

agar aap meri kahani ko bardaasht nahi kar sakte

to iska matlab ye hai ki

ye zamana hi na-kabil-e-bardaasht hai
