bandhuo, us badhee ne
chakkoo to khair nahin lagaaya
par aalapinen lagaane se
baaz nahin aaya.
oopar chikanee-chikanee raikseen
andar dher saare aalapeen.
taiyaar kursee
netaajee se pahale daftar mein aa gaee,
netaajee aae
to dekhate hee bha gaee.
aur,
baithane se pahale
ek thasak, ek shaan ke saath
muskaan bikherate hue
unhonne topee sambhaalakar
maalaen utaareen,
gulaab kee kuchh pattiyaan bhee
kurte se jhaadeen,
phir gaharee usaans lekar
chain kee saans lekar
kursee sarakaee
aur bhaee, baith gae.
baithate hee ainth gae.
dabee huee cheekh nikalee, sah gae
par baithe-ke-baithe hee rah gae.
uthane kee koshish kee
to saath mein kursee uth aaee
unhonne zor se aavaaz lagaee-
kisane banaee hai?
chaparaasee ne poochha- kya?
kya ke bachche kursee!
kya teree shaamat aaee hai?
jao fauran us badhee ko bulao.
badhee bola-
sar meree kya galatee hai
yahaan to thekedaar saab kee chalatee hai.
unhonne kaha-
kursiyon mein vest bhar do
so bhar dee
kursee aalapinon se labarez kar dee.
mainne dekha ki aapake daftar mein
kaagaz bikhare pade rahate hain
koee bhee unamen
aalapinen nahin lagaata hai
pratyek baaboo
din mein kam-se-kam
dedh sau aalapinen neeche giraata hai.
aur baaboojee,
neeche girane ke baad to
har cheez vest ho jaatee hai
kursiyon mein bharane ke hee kaam aatee hai.
to huzoor,
usee ko saza den
jisaka ho kusoor.
thekedaar saab ko bulaen
ve hee aapako samajhaen.
ab thekedaar bulavaaya gaya,
saara maajara samajhaaya gaya.
thekedaar bola-
badhee iz seing vairee karaikt sar!
hiz dyootee iz aibsolyootalee
parafaikt sar!
sarakaaree aadesh hai
ki sarakaaree sampatti ka sadupayog karo
iseelie ham badhee ko bola
ki vest bharo.
blandar mistek to aalapin kampanee ke
proparaitar ka hai
jisane vest jaisa cheez ko
itana nukeelee banaaya
aur aapako
dharaatal pe kasht pahunchaaya.
vairee vairee soree sar.
ab bulavaaya gaya
aalapin kampanee ka proparaitar
pahale to vo ghabaraaya
samajh gaya to muskuraaya.
bola-
shreemaan,
masheen agar indiyan hotee
to aapakee haalat dheelee na hotee,
kyonki
pin itanee nukeelee na hotee.
par hamaaree masheenen to
amareeka se aatee hain
aur ve aalapinon ko
bahut hee nukeela banaatee hain.
achaanak aalapin kampanee ke
maalik ne socha
ab ye amareeka se
kise bulavaenge
zaahir hai meree hee
chatanee banavaenge.
isalie baat badal dee aur
amareeka se bhilaee kee taraph
daayavart kar dee-
