Be-masraf rishton ki faraghat

sab se achchha khel hai
ajnabiyyat ko kuredna

sab se achchha khel hai
waqt-guzari

waqt bahut hai hamare pas
kuDhte rahne ke liye aur

baaten karne ke liye
diwaron se KHud-kalami ke andaz mein

diwaren kahan sunti hain
diwaren to bas diwaren hain

jo hail rahti hain rishton ke darmiyan
jin par laTkae ja sakte hain rishte!

matruk jazbon ke make-up mein lipTe lipTae
be-chehra poster

purane calender ki tarah utar phenkne ke liye
waqt ki qashen!

waqt bahut hai hamare pas
waqt guzari ke liye

computer screen par raushan rahte hain
be-hisab gaD-maD huruf be-shumar be-KHal-o-KHat

aawazen!
ajnabiyyat ki tahon se nae rishte nae talluq

jinhen laTkaya ja sake calender ki tarah
saKHt-dil diwaron par

jinhen laTkaya ja sake calender ki tarah
sab se achchha khel hai

ajnabiyyat ko kuredna
aur kured rahe hain hamare bachche

nae rishte nae ghar nae watan
khel hi khel mein

kitna be-rishta kitna be-ghar kitna be-watan kar diya hai
hamein hamare bachchon ne!!!

hamare pas to sirf diwaren bachi hain
jin par laTkai ja sakti hai

be-masraf rishton ki faraghat!!
aur waqt bahut hai hamare pas!!!
