akaaran hee padosan kaakee
aur meree gharavaalee mein
chhid gaya vaak-yuddh
koyal-see madhur aavaaz
badal gaee gaalee mein
ye bhee kruddh
ve bhee kruddh
chhootane lage shabd-baan
munh ho gaya tarakas
phadakane lage kaan
mohalla ho gaya circus
choodiyaan khanakhana utheen
maano goliyaan sanasana utheen
paayalen chhanachhana utheen
jaise ranbhoomi mein
ghodiyaan hinahina utheen
unhonne aankhe nikaaleen
inhonne pacha leen
ye gurraeen
ve tarraeen
inakee sanasanaahat
unakee bhanabhanaahat
ghaaten
pratighaaten
nikal aaee na jaane
kab kee puraanee baaten
har paitara niraala
jisake man jo aaya
kah daala
ye apanee jagah par
ve apanee jagah par
drshy tha aakarshak
saara mohalla tha darshak
bachche donon ghar ke
kuchh idhar ke
kuchh udhar ke
stabdh khade sun rahe the
gaaliyaan chun rahe the
boodhe daadhee hilaate the
naujavaan prabhaavit hokar
ek doosare se haath milaate the
tabhee
drshy hua change
shuroo ho gaya
ghooson aur laaton ka exchange
unhonne chhode shabdon ke megaatan
ye bhee kam na theen
chala die legaatan
ye bhavaanee
ve durga
unaka pati khada
unake peechhe
mutthiyaan bheechen
maano akad raha ho
raheemakhaan taangevaale ka
angrezee murga
idhar ham bhee khade the
morche par ade the
vaise kuchh saal pahale
ham donon
aamane-saamane lade the
kintu tab purushon ka yug tha
ab naaree satta hai
puroosh kya hai?
hukm ka patta hai
chala do chal jaega
pila do pil jaega.
too-too, main-main
