ek subh main bedar hua to khuda ghaeb tha
ye behad tashwish ki baat thi

mujhe us ki talash mein nikalna pada
basti mein us ka nishan nahin mila

main ne ek khoji se rabta kiya
us ne khara dekh kar bataya

khuda ko burda-faroshon ne ighwa kar liya hai
main ne police se rabta kiya

thanedar ne khuda ki report darj karne se inkar kar diya
main adalat mein pesh hua

qazi ne khuda ka muqaddama sunne se inkar kar diya
main ne darbar mein haziri di

hakim ne khuda ka zikr sunne se inkar kar diya
chal chal kar main rasta bhul gaya

bhatakte bhatakte ek begar camp ja pahuncha
wahan rang-birangi topiyon wale ighwa-karon ki mahfil jami thi

khuda bhi maujud tha
us ke pairon mein bediyan padi thin

lekin hath khule hue the
jin se wo

ighwa-karon ke mutalbe par
jannat ke baghon aur jahannum ke tanduron ke malikana huquq ki filon par

be-takan dastakhat kiye ja raha tha
