مذاہب کا مدعا کیا ہے ۔ اجئے پانڈے سحابؔ
۱
دردِ انسان کی دوا کیا ہے
اتنے آنسو ہیں پھر خدا کیا ہے
۲
اتنی جنگیں تھیں اتنی موتیں تھیں
اور تاریخ میں لکھا کیا ہے
۳
تنگ ذہنی ہے خوں پرستی ہے
ایسی تہذیب نے دیا کیا ہے
۴
ساری دنیا کو بانٹ ڈالیں گے
اب مذاہب کا مدعا کیا ہے
۵
جس پہ چل کر بچا لیں دنیا کو
کوئی بتلائے راستہ کیا ہے
۶
اسلحوں کی یہ دوڑ جاری ہے
امن کی بات میں رکھا کیا ہے
मज़ाहब का मुद्दु’आ क्या है – अजय पांडे सहाब
१
दर्द-ए इंसान की दवा क्या है
इतने आंसू हैं फिर ख़ुदा क्या है
२
इतनी जंगें थीं, इतनी मौतें थीं
और तारीख़ में लिखा क्या है
३
तंग ज़हनी है, ख़ूं परस्ती है
ऐसी तहज़ीब ने दिया क्या है
४
सारी दुनिया को बांट डालेंगे
अब मज़ाहब का मुद्दु’आ क्या है
५
जिस पे चल कर बचा लें दुनिया को
कोई बतलाए रास्ता क्या है
६
अस्लहौं की ये दौढ जारी है
अम्न की बात में रखा क्या है
