हो गई है पीर परबत सी, पिघलनी चाहिए

इस हिमालय से कोई गंगा निकालनी
चाहिए

हर सड़क, पर हर गली, हर गाँव में

हाथ लहराते हुए हर लाश चलनी चाहिए

सिर्फ़ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं

मेरी कोशिश है की यह सूरत बदलनी चाहिए

मेरे सीने में नहीं तो तेरे सीने में सही

हो कहीं भी आग लेकिन आग जलनी चाहिए।

Same here. My friend heard it recently and I put it on the blog at once. Worth sharing!

or is dushyant a figment of your imagination , a pen-name ; shit there was never a dushyant , you pulled off a hoax on us mere mortals, damn you !!!

@jhabrilla:
I feel flattered. Sadly, I'm not guilty of being Dushyant in disguise. I heard of Dushyant for the first time from a friend, like I said. Story goes that his son was interested in my friend's mom many years ago. If that is any evidence!

Seeing as I seem to be getting more hits on this page for somebody else's work than my own, perhaps I should claim it as original :(
