ek din baat kee baat mein
baat badh gaee
hamaaree gharavaalee
hamase hee ad gaee
hamane kuchh nahin kaha
chupachaap saha
kahane lagee-“aadamee ho
to aadamee kee tarah raho
aankhe dikhaate ho
koi ahasaan nahin karate
jo kamaakar khilaate ho
sabhee khilaate hain
tumane aadamee nahin dekhe
jhoole mein jhoolaate hain
dekhate kaheen ho
aur chalate kaheen ho
kaee baar kaha
idhar-udhar mat taako
budhaape kee khidakee se
javaanee ko mat jhaanko
koee mujh jaisee mil gaee
to sab bhool jaoge
vaise hee phoole ho
aur phool jaoge
chandan lagaane kee umr mein
powder lagaate ho
bhagavaan jaane
ye kaddoo sa chehara kisako dikhaate ho
koee poochhata hai to kahate ho-
“tees ka hoon.”
us din ek ladakee se kah rahe the-
“tum solah kee ho
to main bees ka hoon.”
vo to ladakee andhee thee
aankh vaalee rahatee
to chhaatee ka baal noch kar kahatee
oopar khizaab aur neeche saphedee
vaah re, bees ke shail chaturvedi
hamaare daddy bhee shaadee-shuda the
magar kya mazaal
kabhee hamaaree mummy se bhee
aankh milaee ho
mummy hazaar kah letee theen
kabhee zubaan hilaee ho
kamaakar paanch sau laate ho
aur akad
do hazaar kee dikhaate ho
hamaare daddy do-do hazaar
ek baithak mein haal jaate the
magar doosare hee din chaar hazaar
na jaane, kahaan se maar laate the
maana ki main maa hoon
tum bhee to baap ho
bachcho ke zimmedaar
tum bhee half ho
are, aath-aath ho gae
to meree kya galatee
grhasthee kee gaadee
ek pahiye se nahin chalatee
bachcha roe to main manaoon
bhookh lage to main khilaoon
aur to aur
doodh bhee main pilaoon
maana ki tum nahin pila sakate
magar khila to sakate ho
are botal se hee sahee
doodh to pila sakate ho
magar yahaan to khud hee
munh se botal lagae phirate hain
angrezee sharaab ka boota nahin
deshee chadhae phirate hain
hamaare daddy kee baat aur thee
bade-bade clubo mein jaate the
peete the, to maal bhee khaate the
tum bhee chane phaankate ho
na jaane kaun-see peete ho
raat bhar khaansate ho
mere pair ka ghaav
dhone kya baithe
naakhoon tod diya
abhee tak dard hota hai
tum sa bhee koee mard hota hai?
jab bhee baahar jaate ho
koee na koee cheez bhool aate ho
na jaane kitane pen, torch
aur chashme guma chuke ho
ab vo zamaana nahin raha
jo chaar aane ke saag mein
kunaba kha le
do rupaye ka saag to
akele tum kha jaate ho
us vakt kya tokoon
jab thake maande daftar se aate ho
koee teer nahin maarate
jo daftar jaate ho
roz ek na ek batan tod laate ho
main button taankate-taankate
kaaz huee ja rahee hoon
main hee jaanatee hoon
ki kaise nibha rahee hoon
kahatee hoon, pant dheele banavao
tang patloon soot nahin karateen
kisee se bhee poochh lo
jhooth nahin kahatee
elastic dalavaate ho
are, belt kyoon nahin lagaate ho
phir pant ka jhanjhat hee kyon paalo
dhotee pahano na,
jab chaaho khol lo
aur jab chaaho laga lo
main kahatee hoon to bura lagata hai
boodhe ho chale
magar sansaar hara lagata hai
ab to akl se kaam lo
raam ka naam lo
sharm nahin aatee
raat-raat bhar baahar
jhak maarate ho
aurat paalane ko kaleja chaahiye
grhasthee chalaana khel nahin
bheja chahiye.”
