Chai, Paani aur Woh

Sarkari naukari

Chai-paani k naam par

Paisa vasooli

Thi roz ki baat

Jaane kahan kho gaya!
Woh krantikaari jawaan

Khareed gaya use bhi

Yeh nasamajh samaaj

Pacchees ka tha woh

Par peeta tha chai hazaar ki

Saare aisho-aaraam the toh!

Phir bhi khudse naraazgi

Ek din daftar aayi woh

College main pasand thi jo

Woh muskuraya

Par usne nahi pehchana

Ab thodi raha woh wahi insaan

Paanch ki chai peeta tha jo

Aur karta baatein hazaar
Jise sunti thi woh
