wo ek shakhs tha
jo akela tha us ka koi bhi na tha

ek ikai tha wo
aur ek din khud apni ikai mein zam ho gaya

is ne marte hue ek wasiyyat likhi
jis mein likkha tha!

ai aadmi!
ai wo ek shakhs

jo mere marne ki pahli khabar sun ke daude
aur aawaz de bhaiyo aao is ka janaza uthao

aur is aawaz pe koi aawaz us tak na pahunche
aur phir mujh se bekas akele ko kandhon pe apne dhare

aur akeli si ek qabr mein mujh ko pahuncha ke mahfuz kar de
mera wo dost itna sa ehsan mujh par kare

wo meri qabr par ek sada sa katba lagae
aur us par mera nam likh de

sach kahun is se main apni shohrat nahin chahta
kya mera nam aur kyun wo baqi rahe

main is waste chahta hun ki jab
shahr ke log ye sun ke dauden

ki dekho ye mashhur hai, log kahte hain wo shakhs to mar gaya
sochte hain ye usi ki shararat na ho

taki hum log ab us se ghafil rahen
us ke fitne se apne ko mahfuz samjhen

bas yahi chahta hun
ki aisa koi shakhs dhundhe mujhe

to suhulat ho us ko ye tasdiq karne ki
ye shakhs sach-much nahin hai

wo ab mar chuka hai
main to ab dushmanon ke bhi aaram ke haq mein hun

kyun kisi ko kisi se khalal ho?
kyun kisi ko nam se ek dahshat ho?

sare insan duniya mein aaram se soen aur khush rahen
