Mazdur laDki

wo ek mazdur laDki hai
bahut aasan hai mere liye us ko mana lena

zara aarasta ho lun
mera aaina kahta hai

kisi sab se baDe but-saz ka shahkar hun goya
main shahron ke tabassum-pash nazzaron ka pala hun

main parwarda hun baron qahwa-KHanon ki fazaon ka
main jab shahron ki rangin titliyon ko chheD leta hun

main jab aarasta KHalwat-kadon ki mez par ja kar
sharabon se bhi KHush-rang phulon ko apna hi leta hun

to phir ek ganw ki pali hui masum si laDki
mere bas mein na aaegi

bhala ye kaise mumkin hai?
aur

phir aise mein jab main chahta hun pyar karta hun
zara baiTho

main dariya ke kinare
dhan ke kheton mein ho aaun

yahi mausam hai
jab dharti se hum roTi ugate hain

tumhein taklif to hogi
hamare jhonpaDon mein chaarpai bhi nahin hoti

nahin main ruk gai
to dhan tak pani na aaega

hamare ganw mein
barsat hi to ek mausam hai

ki jab hum
sal bhar ke waste kuchh kaam karte hain

idhar baiTho
parai laDkiyon ko is tarah dekha nahin karte

ye lipstick
ye powder

aur ye scarf
kya hoga

mujhe kheton mein mazduri se fursat hi nahin milti
mere honTon pe ghanTon bund pani ki nahin paDti

mere chehre mere bazu pe lu aur dhup rahti hai
gale mein sirf pital ka ye chandan haar kafi hai

hawa mein dilkashi hai
aur faza sona luTati hai

mujhe un se aqidat hai
yahi meri mataa meri nemat hai

bahut mamnun hun lekin
huzur aap apne tohfe

shahr ki pariyon mein le jaen
