Ek purani kahani

kisi shahr mein ek kafan-chor aaya
jo raaton ko qabron mein suraKH kar ke

tan-e-kushtagan se kafan khinch leta
aaKHir-e-kar pakDa gaya

aur us ko munasib saza ho gai
kuchh hi din baad ek dusra chor warid hua

jo kafan bhi churaata
qabr ko bhi khula chhoD deta

dusra chor bhi rukn-e-insaf ke pas laya gaya
aur mehman-e-zindan hua

phir yakayak kisi tisare chor ka ghul macha
jo kafan bhi churaata

qabr ko bhi khula chhoD deta
aur murda badan ko barahana kisi rah par Dal deta

shahr wale jab use adalat mein lae
to qazi ne us ki saza ko sunate hue

faisla yun likha
KHudawand pahle kafan-chor ko apni rahmat mein rakhna ki wo aadmi KHub tha
