कल गुजरात हुआ और हम सोते रहे
फिर मुज़फ़्फ़रनगर हुआ फिर भी हम नींद से नहीं जागे
कश्मीर का नंबर आया तब भी हमारी ग़ैरत नहीं जागी
और आज #त्रिपुरा के मुसलमान आज सड़कों पर निकल अपने ऊपर हो रहे ज़ुल्म के ख़िलाफ़ एहतिजाज कर रहे हैं, क्योंकि दंगाइयों द्वारा उन्हें, उनके मकानों, उनकी दुकानों और उनकी इबादतगाहों को निशाना बनाया जा रहा है।
क्या हम अपनी बारी आने का इंतेज़ार कर रहे हैं ?
त्रिपुरा के मुसलमानों के लिए आवाज़ उठाने को
आपका #मुस्लिम होना ज़रूरी नहीं , बल्कि आपका #इंसान होना ज़रूरी है।#SaveTripuraMuslims
