kaisa ajib aaya hai is sal ka bajaT
murghi ka jo bajaT hai wahi dal ka bajaT
jitni hai ek clerk ki tanKHwah aaj kal
utna hai begamat ke ek gal ka bajaT
sirf ek din mein bis musafir hue halak
hazir hai sain gulshan-e-iqbaal ka bajaT
Tw ka ye mazaq adibon ke sath hai
shaer se dugna rakh diya qawwal ka bajaT
bichhDe the jab ye log mahina tha june ka
sohni bana rahi thi mahinwal ka bajaT
damad ko nikal ke jab bhi hua hai pesh
salon ne pas kar diya sasural ka bajaT
bikti hai ab kitab bhi cassette ke rate pe
kaise banega 'ghaalib' o 'iqbaal' ka bajaT
man kah rahi thi rang lipstick ke dekh kar
chaT kar diya bahu ne mere lal ka bajaT
donon bane hain bais-e-taklif aaj-kal
'ishaq'-Dar aur nae sal ka bajaT
Ghazal
Kaisa ajib aaya hai is sal ka bajaT
