Achaar ka martaban

tumhaari ammi ne apni izzat ko martabanon mein band kar ke
makan ki chhat se laTakte chhinke mein rakh diya tha

tumhaari ammi ne bar-ha tum se ye kaha tha
achaar kachcha hai' tel ki bu miTi nahin hai

abhi na ye martaban kholo
hawa agar bartanon mein daKHil hui to ulli

tamam phankon ka nas kar degi
tum magar soch mein paDi ho

na jaane ammi ko kya hua hai
achaar ki phank hi to hai na

na koi hira, na koi moti, na koi sone ki chiz mangi
na koi kapDa na koi latta na koi saDi

tum apni masum aur pyari si ankhDiyon mein
hazar shikwe liye yunhi sochti rahogi

magar jo ek Dar tumhaari ammi ki aankh mein aa ke bas gaya hai
use kahan tum samajh sakogi

abhi to tum bachpane ki sarhad phalangne hi ki fikr mein ho
abhi to tum meinDhiyan banati ho, choTiyan kas ke bandhti ho

kabhi kabhi tum saDak pe ja kar jhagaDte bachchon ko DanTti ho
to tum ko chunni ka hosh hota hai

aur na aankhon mein Dar kisi ka
agar kabhi tum zaban ka zaiqa badalne ka soch hi lo

agar kabhi tum achaar ka martaban niche utar hi lo
nazar bacha kar achaar bahar nikal hi lo

to lamha bhar ke liye Thahar kar ye soch lena
tumhaari ammi ne apni izzat ko martabanon mein band kar ke

makan ki chhat se laTakte chhinke mein rakh diya tha
