bada baaboo?
pat jaaye to theek
varna bekaaboo.
bade baaboo ka
chhote baaboo se
is baat ko lekar
ho gaya jhagada
ki chhote ne
bade kee apeksha
saahab ko
zyaada makkhan kyon ragada.
inspekshan ke samay
muft kee murgee ne
dikhaaya vo kamaal
ki murgee ke saath-saath
bade saahab bhee to gaye halaal.
collector rol dikhaane ke liye
bade saahab ko dekar
apana qeematee pen
jab chhote saahab ne
jeb me pen thoonsate huye kaha-
“tum itana bhee nahin samajhata man!”
retire hone ke baad
jab unhonne
apanee imandaree kee kamaee
ka hisaab joda
to balance mein nikala
cancer ka phoda.
