POEM 

A mera mazhab kahan tha

Crime is committed by man, not the religion; we need to blame the individual and punish him accordingly and restore justice and trust in the society. Blaming religion is like barking at the wrong tree. First of all religion is intangible, and you cannot beat it, hang it, kill it, bury it or curse it, nor can you restore trust in the society, so why bark at it?

My nay chori ki vyewhaar may, dhoka diya doston ko
A mera apan kartaviyya tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

My nay meri patni say be bewafayee ki, girlfriend say bhi
A mera apna hi paap tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Mere bachchon ke liye my ek jhoot ka putla bana
A mera apna problem tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Gangajal say paap dhoye, Hajj say gunah saaf kiye
My waisay ka waisay hi raha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

My nay ghussay may chala di Gun bachchon pay
Bachnay ke liye pagal bhi bana, a mera mazhab kahan tha

My aatankvadi by bana, aur Allahu Akbar bhi kaha
Mazhab mera nahin sikhaya tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

My nay Babri Masjid bhi todi, aur Ram ka naam bhi liya
A dharam kisi ka nahin tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Shiaon, Hinduon, Ahmadiyon or Maseehon ko tukleef di
Lagaya ilzam sunni pay magar, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Danishmando Mazhab pay lagatay ho tohmat kyoon?
Burayee meri, mujrim my tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Lagana Ilzam to mujh pe lagao, mujh ko do sazaa
A gunah to mera apna tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Dekho Ai Samajh walo, gyan walo, ilm walo, fikr walo
Sachcha aur Jhoota my tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Mata-pita , na mulla-pandit ko, saza do us ko jis ka jurm
Ai kaisi parampara ai Khuda, a mera mazhab kahan tha

 Samaaj may insaf ho to ummeed bhi aur pragati bhi
A mamla na-insafi ka tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Thakna mera kaam nahin, my samjhata hi rahoonga Sahir
Jo bhi huwa o mera kiya tha, a mera mazhab kahan tha

Meri asha hai ke aap es Vishay pe ghor kariengay; insaaf ho jahan to aman hota hai wahan, aur jab log apni responsibility nibhayeingay, to duniya may harmony bhi hogi, shanti bhi hogi.
