Assorted Sher

Ek din yun guzaar kar dekha

On Communal riots

bebasi se milna hai

Kyun dhudhtey usko aasman men

Din-o-imaan kho rahi hai phir

baat kar

Din abhi kuchh yahin bitane hai

raaz gairon ko bataa dete hai kyun?

tum dekhnaa

ab banaayaa hai use apnaa khuda

lagte ho

kitne zamaane lage the baste hue

jaise uskaa hi zakhm gaheraa ho

ek insaan ne

dete nahiin

badalte hain

kabhi kabhi to hamen hamsafar kahaa kiije

kaun jaane!
