ہاتھوں سے اپنے دامنِ دنیا نکل گیا
رخصت ہوا دلوں سے خیالِ معاد بھی
haathon se apne daaman-e-duniya nikal gaya
rukhsat hua dilon se khayaal-e-maad bhi
قانونِ وقف کے لیے لڑتے تھے شیخ جی
پوچھو تو، وقف کے لیے ہے جائداد بھی!
qaanoon-e-waqf ke liye ladte the shaikh ji
poochho to, waqf ke liye hai jaaidaad bhi!

A short satirical qita: the world has slipped from our hands and the thought of the hereafter has left our hearts, yet the shaikh was fighting for the waqf law, and if you ask, he has property for the waqf too.
Short quotes only (up to characters): the book stays the author’s. Line breaks are kept — good for couplets.
