Bus ka safar

un hi se puchhta hun main safar karte hain jo bus mein
ki de dete ho apni zindagi kyun ghair ke bas mein

ye bus wo hai ki bas ho jae jab motor to banti hai
saDak par ruTh jae to baDi mushkil se manti hai

ye akasr baiThne walon ke dhakkon se khisakti hai
kabhi kashti mein dariya hai kabhi dariya mein kashti hai

safar karte hain is mein jab baraati aur dulhan dulha
to ban jati hai motor jaidad-e-ghair-manqula

aur is ke baad agar tarik hai shab dur manzil hai
to karte hain tawaf is ka wo majnun jin ki mahmil hai

cleaner se yahi kahta hai shofer ho ke bechaara
ki kas nakashud-o-nakashayad ba-hikmat in muamma ra

agar us waqt mein sardi bhi lag jae to kya gham hai
ye fitna aadmi ki KHana-virani ko kya kam hai

jo ruk jae rawan kyun ho jo baDhiya hai jawan kyun ho
hui ye dost jin ki dushman un ka aasman kyun ho

baraati khinchte ye jaidad aate hain shahron mein
jo rasta chand ghaDiyon ka hai wo kaTta hai pahron mein

zara se ek pankchar se bigaDta hai singhaar is ka
hawa par jis ki hasti ho bhala kya e'tibar us ka

ghubar aur gard ka aur tel ki bu ka KHazina hai
ye motor-car aur gaDDe ki aulad-e-narina hai

mili gaDDe se ranai o zebai wirasat mein
KHar-e-dajjal se milti hai surat mein malahat mein

samate hain phir us mein Thas ke yun be-lutf-o-asaish
nahin rahti hai nalon ke nikalne ki bhi gunjaish

bason ki chhat pe lad kar dudh ke bartan jo aate hain
saron par shir ka baran-e-rahmat wo giraate hain

wo nadan hain jo is barish pe nak aur bhaun chaDhate hain
sile mein saKHt-jaani ke ye ju-e-shir pate hain

paDa hoga bason mein aap ko aison se bhi pala
uThi khujli to apne sath sathi ko khuja Dala
