Sab yaad rakha jayega, sab kuch yaad rakha jayega. This poem is for Kashmir, AMU, Jamia, Uttar Pradesh, JNU, Delhi. This poem is for all those places where under the cover of darkness, the cowards committed atrocities on us.”

‘Sab Kuch Yaad Rakha Jayega’

Tum raat likho hum chaand likhenge
Tum jail mein daalo hum deewar phaand likhenge

Tum FIR likho hum hain taiyyar likhenge
Tum hamein qatl kar do hum banke bhoot likhenge
Tumhare qatl ke saare saboot likhenge

Tum adaalaton se baithkar chutkule likho
Hum sadkon deewaron pe insaaf likhenge

Behre bhi sun mein itni zor se bolenge
Andhe bhi padh lein itna saaf likhenge

Tum kaala kamal likho
Hum laal gulaab likhenge

Tum zameen pe zulm likh do
Aasmaan pe inquilab likha jayega

Sab yaad rakha jayega
Sab kuch yaad rakha jayega

Tumhari laathiyon aur goliyon se qatl hue hain jo mere yaar sab
Unki yaad mein dilon ko barbaad rakha jayega
Sab yaad rakha jayega

Tum syahiyon se jhooth likhoge humein maloom hai
Ho humare khoon se hi ho sahi sach zaroor likha jayega
Sab yaad rakha jayega

Mobile telephone internet bhari dopeher mein band karke
Sard andheri raat mein pure sheher ko nazarband karke
Hathaudiyan lekar daffatan mere ghar mein ghus aanaa
Mera sar badan meri mukhtasar si zindagi ko tod jaana

Mere lakht-e-jigar ko beech chaurahe pe maar kar
Yun be andaaz khade hokar jhund mein tumhara muskurana

Sab yaad rakha jayega
Sab kuchh yaad rakha jayega

Din mein meethi meethi baatein karna saamne se
Sab kuch theek hai har zabaan mein tutlaana
Raat hote hi haq maang rahe logon pe lathiyan chalana goliyan chalana
Humhi pe hamla karke humhi ko hamlawar batana
Sab yaad rakha jayega

Main apni haddiyon pe likhke rakhunga ye saare wardaat
Tum jo maangte ho mujhse mere hone ke kaagzaat
Apni hasti ka tumko saboot zarur diya jayega
Ye jung tumhari aakhri saans tak lada jayega
Sab yaad rakha jayega

Ye bhi yaad rakha jayega ke kis tarah se tumne watan ko todne ki saajishein ki
Ye bhi yaad rakha jayega ke kis jatan se humne watan ko jodne ki khwahishein ki

Jab kabhi bhi zikr aayega jahan mein daur-e-buzdili ka tumhara kaam yaad rakha jayega
Jab kabhi bhi zikr aayega jahan mein taur-e-zindagi ka humara naam yaad rakha jayega

Ke kuch log the jinke iraade toote nahi the lohe ki hathaudiyon se
Ke kuch log the jinke zameer bike nahi tha izaardaaron ki kaudiyon se
Ke kuchh log the jo tike rahe the tufaan-e-noo ke guzar jaane ke baad tak
Ke kuchh log the jo zinda rahe the apne maut ki khabar aane ke baad tak

Bhale bhool jaye palak aankhon ko moondna
Bhale bhool zameen apni dhoori pe ghumna
Hamare kate paron ki parvaaz ko hamare phate gaalon ki awaaz ko yaad rakha jayega

Taakey tumhare naam par ta-umr laanatein bhejin jaa sakein
Taakey tumhare mujassamon par kalikhein potee jaa sakein

Tumhare naam tumhare mujassamon ko abaad rakha jayega.
