    achchha KHasa ghar tha lekin ujaD gaya

    waldain ke intiqal ke baad

    donon bhai apni laDli aur iklauti

    bahan ki shadi kar ke

    mulk se bahar chale gae

    lahori aabai makan mein

    sarf chacha sultan akele rahte the

    jin ki ghani nurani daDhi

    KHauf-e-KHuda se hilti rahti thi

    parwez italy mein

    danton ke amraaz ka mahir ban ke raha

    ab us ki qismat ka sitara

    burj-e-sukun mein

    jag-mag jag-mag chamak raha tha

    mumtaz espen mein

    jaez aur na-jaez chizen

    dar-amad baramad kar ke

    rizq-e-halal aur akl-e-haram kamata tha

    us ke jaanne walon mein

    kuchh aise waise log bhi shamil the

    magar apni apni pardesi duniyaon mein

    donon aaram se the

    chhoTe ke paiham israr

    aur qartaba gharnata ke asrar

    se haar ke

    baDa kashan kashan chala aaya tha

    sat baras mein pahli bar

    wo sath sath chhuTTiyan guzar rahe the

    naraaz aur mawwaj

    paniyon ke paDos mein

    shor-sharabe wali

    gunjaan aabaadi se

    zara haT kar

    ek KHush-numa pahaDi par

    das bis makanat honge

    sab se achchha mumtaz ka tha

    ek roz wo sayyahi se

    thake thakae

    raat gae ghar aae

    apne lawn mein

    nekar pahne Tang pasare

    pas paDe mobile par

    nazar jamae kan lagae

    wisky pite rahe

    chand nashe mein tha

    aur samundar se

    pighli chandi chhalak rahi thi

    aisa tilismi manzar aur itna aasman

    aahon ne kabhi na dekha tha

    lekin parwez ke daure ki

    ek aur wajh bhi thi

    tis baras tak

    do ruhon ke shab-KHanon mein

    ajab tarah ki pagal nafrat palti rahi

    aur apna zahr ugalti rahi

    wo badle ki aag mein jalte

    angaron par chalte rahe

    isi liye koi das din pahle

    is sazish ne janam liya tha

    aur mumtaz ne kisi purane

    karobari sathi se

    KHun ka sauda kar Dala tha

    aaj usi ka sandesa aane wala tha

    os utarti raat guzarti rahi

    achanak mobile ne sargoshi ki

    bheDiya halal kar diya gaya

    subh sawere telephone par

    bahnoi ne bharrai aawaz sunai di:

    raaton-raat na-malum afrad

    chacha jaan ka gala kaT ke

    bhag gae hain

    aur police taftish waghaira

    ye man-jae KHush ho ke

    betabi se gale mile

    baDi der tak guthe hue

    apne dilon ki dhak dhak sunte rahe

    ek napak darinde ne

    apne masum bhatijon se

    bad-kari ka irtikab kar ke

    un ki psychi badal di thi
