Poem:
Mujay tu palkon ka jhukaana sikha de…
Milay honton se muskuraana sikha de…
Bhul gaya hun mein husn kam lafzon ka,
Khamoshi mei duur pukarna sikha de.
Mustaqil rehta hun zaaya kisi soch mei,
Hosh ki punji aadatan khona sikha de.
Talatum-e-raksaan mei kho chuka pair,
Mujay angaaron pe chalna sikha de.
Na bana kankar mujay lagne ko butt par,
Rastay ki dhuul bana aur uudna sikha de.
Bad-tehzeebi ka de bhi du khub jawab par,
Tu baat na barhanay ka kareena sikha de.
Muj se le le mere saray hathyaar tu,
Mujay na ho k bhi ain hona sikha de.
Mei lagta hun sab ko nayi chappal ho jese,
Mujay chuubay bina chalna seekha de.
Barasta hun mein sard toofaan ki tarah,
Mujay bina aawaz k behna sikha de.
Milta hun ajuman se ik bijli ki tarah,
Nazr mila nazron se chumna sikha de.
Mei kyu be-rang karun apne raqeeb ko?
faham rango ki tarah ghulna sikha de.
Sub ko banna hai yahaan sant ya raaja,
Tu sirf kisi ek ki zindagi badalna sikha de.
Na bana muj ko tu ghumti aag ka taara,
Khudi ko jala k roshan karna sikha de.
Sohani, kese naseeb hogi tuj ko Mairaj?
Tu khud se mujay parda karna sikha de.
— Dedicated to the art and grace of silence.
