mujhe yaqin tha ki mazhabon se
koi bhi rishta nahin hai in ka

mujhe yaqin tha ki in ka mazhab
hai nafraton ki hadon ke andar

mujhe yaqin tha wo la-mazhab hain
ya un ke mazhab ka nam hargiz

siwae shiddat ke kuchh nahin hai
magar ai hamdam

yaqin tumhaara jo dagmagaya
to kitne insan jo ham-watan the

jo ham-safar the
jo ham-nashin the

wo thahre dushman
talash-e-dushman jo shart thahri

to bhul baithe
ki mazhabon se

koi bhi rishta nahin hai in ka
ki jis ko tana diya tha tum ne

ki us ke mazhab ki kokh qatil ugal rahi hai
wo man ki jis ka jawan beta

tumhaare wahm-o-guman ki aandhi mein gum hua hai
tumhaare badle ki aag jis ko nigal gai hai

wo dekho ab tak bilak rahi hai
wo muntazir hai

koi to kandhe pe hath rakkhe
kahe ki hum ne bhi qatilon ki kahaniyon par

yaqin kiya tha
kahe ki hum ne gunah kiya tha

kahe ki man hum ko muaf kar do
kahe ki man hum ko muaf kar do
