प्रखर वक्ता, उम्दा कवि और पत्रकार के साथ-साथ वह एक खेल प्रेमी भी थे। 2004 में उनकी ही पहल के बाद लगभग 14 साल बाद भारतीय क्रिकेट टीम ने पाकिस्तान का दौरा किया था। अब जब वह इस दुनिया में नहीं रहे तो खेल जगत की कई हस्तियों ने उन्हें श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित की है।

Asaman ko choo gaya, jo asmaan sa vishal tha, dharti mein simat gaya, jo mitti jaisa narm tha.
Kaun hai jo Atal reh paya zindagi bhar, Atal banke wo zindagi ko paa gaya.
