[Intro]
[verse]Sheeshe ke sheher mein awaaz bhaari,
bolne ko sab, par sunta kaun yaari?
Rate badla, plate khaali,
sawaal hawa mein, zameen pe taali.
Calendar palta, vaade puraane,
poster naya, par chehre anjaane.
Mic chamka, sach phisla,
boli seedhi thi, par raasta ghisla.
Number chadhte jaayein bina shor,
jeb halki hoti jaaye roz.
Board pe chalk, haath pe dhool,
rule likhe gaye, par kaun bole “kyun?”
Sheeshe mein shor, sach chup kyun?
sadak pe sab, par awaaz gum kyun?
Camera on, clip chhoti si,
yaad bhi chhoti, baat badi si.
Hawa ka bojh, saans pe tax,
green sirf slide, grey sab facts.
Ped ginke jeet ka claim,
gali mein khaansi, report mein flame.
Pahaad khade the seedhe saalon,
jad pakdi thi mitti ke raazon.
Aaj line kheench ke map badla,
kal tak jungle, aaj sirf rasta.
Hari deewar thi sheher ke beech,
dhoop se bachti thi zameen ki cheekh.
Chain chali, awaaz kati,
chhaaya gayi, sirf dhool bachi.
Sheeshe ke sheher ko yaad nahi,
ped gire par headline nahi.
File boli “clear”, mitti royi,
saans ka bill phir humne bhara.
Midnight file, subah ka dard,
stamp laga, justice deferred.
Ink sookha, zakhm geela,
paper strong, par system dheela.
Ek scene dikha, phir frame hata,
chhota nishaan, par bhaari pata.
Sadak chamki, sach fisla,
headline left, mudda khiska.
Bolne ka haq likha board pe,
sunne ka farz kahin kho gaya shor mein.
Sach agar seedha, sharp lage,
isliye ghooma ke serve kare.
Sheeshe mein shor, sach chup kyun?
bill real, par sapna kam kyun?
Poster chamke, ghar andhera,
echo bacha, jawaab ghera.
Ped gaye to mausam badla,
par blame hawa pe daal ke sambhla.
Concrete jeeta, mitti haari,
future likha—par pencil bhaari.
Raat ke kaam pe subah ka coat,
nishaan chhote, par bhaari note.
Badge pe smile, ghar pe math,
aaj ka jashn, kal ka wrath.
Line mein log, time pe fear,
sawaal utha to “not clear”.
Rule ka raag, kursi ki taal,
haath uthe, result sawaal.
Hathiyaar nahi, sirf kalam ka zor,
par kalam bhi bole jab sheeshe mein shor.
Naam nahi, sirf pattern dikha,
power ka weight kaun utha?
Ped kaat ke bole “vikas”,
saans kam hui—ye kiska loss?
Aaj jo chhaya bechi gayi,
kal dhoop sab pe ek si giri.
Awaaz uthi, mic ne cut,
truth pe dhool, routine shut.
Bolne wale ginte kam,
sunne wale aur bhi kam.
Sheeshe ke tukde, sach ke sign,
jo dikhta hai, wahi crime?
Nahi bhai, crime wo hai jo
dikhe hi na, par roz ho.
Main bhashan nahi, main sheesha hoon,
tu dekh jo hai, main wahi hoon.
Agar jhoot lage,tod de bol,
agar sach lage, kyun itna control?
Na bhakt, na villain, na crown ka show,
main sawaal hoon jo peeche chhod do.
Receipt hai haath mein, rant nahi,
ye gaana nahi, yaad-dilaani.
Sheeshe mein shor, ginti kaun kare?
zimmedari bhaari, uthaaye kaun dare?
Ped, hawa, zameen, insaan—
sab sheeshe mein hain, par dekhta kaun yahan?
