KHud-kushi

rahimullah hua achchha to us ne
ye dekha ho chuki hai partition
gae kuchh bhag aur kuchh mar chuke hain
na neta-singh baqi hai na bhishan


sune is dastan ke jab fasane
to ghusse ne banaya us ko majnun
tadap uttha ki le kaise wo badla
piye in kafiron ka kis tarah khun


na kyun kahla saka wo mard-e-ghazi
na jab ye mil saka wo khub roya
yaka-yak us ke sab palte khayalat
to us ne daman-e-islam chhoda


kinara-kash hua sab bhaiyon se
nae mazhab se rishta apna joda
kai din baad jab nikla wo ghar se
to us ke munh pe dadhi sar pe the baal


nihaala-singh ab tha nam us ka
liye kirpan wo ghusse se tha lal
hazaron khun-fishan arman le ke
khada tha aaj wo masjid ke aage


pakadne ke liye us ko namazi
namazen chhod kar masjid se bhage
laga kar ek nara wahshat-alud
wahi kirpan jhat us ne nikali


laga kar qahqaha phir ek falak-ras
man sine mein apne ghonp dali
tamanna thi ki ek sikh main bhi marun
ye puri tu ne ki allah-taala


bahut khush hun rahimullah-khan ne
nihaala-singh-ji ko mar dala
