Kehne waale..

Durust farmaate hain janaab ko kaatil kehne waale
Magar khush hain katl ko haasil kehne waale

Isse shoharat ki ibtada kahu ya badnaami ki intehaa
Jawaab dein mere janaaze ko mehfil kehne waale

Mallah kashti ke liye ladd jaate hain dariya se
Peer bann jaate hain 'aa gaya saahil' kehne waale

Maine kitaabo.n se taqreer nahi seekhi hai kabhi
Magar naada.n hai hasskar mujhe jaahil kehne waale

Zamaana unke qaasay ki keemat laga nahi sakta
Wo jo faqeer hain khandaharo.n ko dil kehne waale

Kisi se raabta koi maraasim shadeed soch kar rakhna
Lut jaate hain humsafar ko manzil kehne waale!
