Zamaane Ke Jis Daur Se Hum Is Waqt Guzar Rahe Hain Agar Aap Isse Naawaaqif Hain To Mere Afsaane Paḍhiye. Agar Aap In Afsaanon Ko Bardaasht Nahi Kar Sakte To Iska Matlab Hai Ki Ye Zamaana Naaqaabil-e-bardaasht Hai... Mujh Mein Jo Buraaiyaan Hain, Wo Is Ahd Ki Buraaiyaan Hain... Mere Tahreer Mein Koi Naqs Nahi. Jis Naqs Ko Mere Naam Se Mansoob Kiya Jaata Hai, Dar-asl Maujooda Nizaam Ka Naqs Hai.

Agar Main Kisi Aurat Ke Seene Ka Zikr Karna Chaahunga To Use Aurat Ka Seena Hi Kahunga. Aurat Ki Chhatiyon Ko Aap Mungfali, Mez Ya Ustura Nahi Kah Sakte... Yun To Baaz Hazraat Ke Nazdeek Aurat Ka Wujood Hi Fohsh Hai, Magar Uska Kya Ilaaj Ho Sakta Hai?

Main Afsaana Isliye Likhta Hun Ki Mujhe Afsaana-nigaari Ki Sharaab Ki Tarah Lat Pad Gayi Hai. Main Afsaana Na Likhun To Mujhe Aisa Mahsoos Hota Hai Ki Main Kapde Nahi Pahne, Ya Maine Ghusl Nahi Kiya, Ya Maine Sharaab Nahi Pee.

Main Tahzeeb-o-tamaddun Aur Society Ki Choli Kya Utaarunga Jo Hai Hi Nangi... Main Use Kapde Pahnaane Ki Koshish Bhi Nahi Karta, Isliye Ki Yeh Mera Kaam Nahi, Darziyon Ka Hai. Log Mujhe Siyaah Qalam Kahte Hain, Main Takhta-e-siyaah Par Kaali Chaak Se Nahi Likhta, Safed Chaak Istemaal Karta Hoon Ki Takhta-e-siyaah Ki Siyaahi Aur Bhi Ziyaada Numaayaan Ho Jaaye. Yeh Mera Khaas Andaaz, Mera Khaas Tarz Hai Jise Fohsh-nigaari, Taraqqi-pasandi Aur Khuda Maloom Kya Kuch Kahaa Jaata Hai. Laanat Ho S'aadat Hasan Manto Par, Kambakht Ko Gaali Bhi Saleeqe Se Nahi Di Jaati.

Chakki Peesne Waali Aurat Jo Din Bhar Kaam Karti Hai Aur Raat Ko Itmeenaan Se So Jaati Hai, Mere Afsaanon Ki Heroin Nahi Ho Sakti. Meri Heroin Chakle Ki Eik Takhyaai Randi Ho Sakti Hai Jo Raat Ko Jaagti Hai Aur Din Ko Sote Mein Kabhi-kabhi Daraawna Khwaab Dekh Kar Uth Baithti Hai Ki Budhaapa Uske Darwaaze Par Dastak Dene Aa Raha Hai... Uske Bhaari-bhaari Papote Jin Par Barson Ki Uchti Hui Nindein Munjamid Ho Gayi Hain, Mere Afsaanon Ka Mauzoo Ban Sakte Hain. Uski Ghalaazat, Uski Bimaariyaan, Uska Chidchidaapan, Uski Gaaliyaan Yeh Sab Mujhe Bhaati Hain... Main Unke Mutalliq Likhta Hun Aur Ghareloo Aurton Ki Shusta Kalaamiyon, Unki Sehat Aur Unki Sehat Aur Unki Nafaasat-pasandi Ko Nazar-andaaz Kar Jaata Hoon.

Jab Tak Aurton Aur Mardon Ke Jazbaat Ke Darmiyaan Eik Moti Deewaar Haael Rahegi, Ismat Chughtaaee Uske Choone Ko Apne Tez Nakhoonon Se Kuredti Rahegi, Jab Tak Kashmeer Ke Haseen Dehaaton Mein Shahron Ki Gandagi Phaili Rahegi, Ghareeb Krishna-chandra Haule-haule Rota Rahega. Jab Tak Insaanon Mein Aur Khaas Taur Par S'aadat Hasan Manto Mein Kamzoriyaan Maujood Hain, Woh Khurd-been Se Dekh-dekh kar Baahar Nikaalta Aur Doosron Ko Dikhaata Rahega.

Hindustan Mein Abhi Tak Artist Ke Sahi Ma'ani Pesh Nahi Kiye Gaye. Art Ko Khuda Maloom Kya Cheez Samjha Jata Hai. Yahaan Art Eik Rang Se Bhara Hua Bartan Hai Jismein Har Shakhs Apne Kapde Bhigo Leta Hai, Lekin Art Yeh Nahi Hai Aur Na Woh Tamaam Log Artist Hain Jo Apne Maathon Par Label Lagaaye Phirte Hain. Hindustan Mein Jis Cheez Ko Art Kaha Jaata Hai, Abhi Tak Main Uske Mutalliq Faisla Hi Nahi Kar Sakaa Ki woh Kya Hai?

अदब की तख़्लीक़ के तीन मुहर्रिक हो सकते हैं। लिखने वाले की अपनी इन्फ़िरादियत और ख़ुदी, उसके अपने जज़्बाती तजुर्बात-ओ-हादिसात और उसका समाजी, इक़्तिसादी और सियासी माहौल।
