mere khat ka jawab aaya tha
khat na likkha karo ye likkha tha

main zaban se to kah nahin sakta
jo nazara nazar ne dekha tha

waqt-e-mushkil wo sath chhod gaya
jis pe mujh ko bada bharosa tha

apne begane hote jate the
bas isi baat ka achambha tha

qatl karta tha be-gunahon ka
sab ki nazron mein jo farishta tha

jis mein 'rana' hamari umr kati
wo zamana bhi kya zamana tha
