kitāboñ meñ likhī
muāshartī be-hisī kī lā-zavāl kahāniyoñ se nā-āshnā
jab koī laḌkī
apne āshnā ke saath bhaag jaatī hai
to ilāqe ke thāne meñ rakhī huī kitāb
ek kahānī ko janam detī hai
jis kī varaq-gardānī karte hue
kitne hī rāshī afsar muattal ho chuke haiñ
lekin aaj bhī
jumā ke ḳhutbe se pahle
ilāqe kā maulvī
sa.ādat-hasan-manTo ko gaalī denā nahīñ bhūltā
kitabon mein likhi
muasharti be-hisi ki la-zawal kahaniyon se na-ashna
jab koi laDki
apne aashna ke sath bhag jati hai
to ilaqe ke thane mein rakhi hui kitab
ek kahani ko janam deti hai
jis ki waraq-gardani karte hue
kitne hi rashi afsar muattal ho chuke hain
lekin aaj bhi
juma ke KHutbe se pahle
ilaqe ka maulwi
saadat-hasan-manTo ko gali dena nahin bhulta
