Middle-class

tumhein malum hai na
hamara sahn chhoTa hai aur us mein chand KHwab hi ba-mushkil pure utarte hain

itna khana jo ghar mein aae mehman par bhi pura ho
man ki dawaen waqt par aa jaen

bap ko aKHbar roz milta rahe
bachchon ko qadre-behtar school mein paDha saken

bahan ki shadi ho jae bhai bhi kisi qabil ho jae
main bahar ja kar tumhaare man bap ke liye bhi kuchh karunga

wapas jab aaunga tumhein kangan dilwa dunga
yahin kahin koi chhoTi si dukan bana lunga

so ye sab pura karne ko wo bahar des chala gaya hai
use rozgar mil gaya hai sab achchha chal raha hai

lekin kuchh KHwahishen hain na-tamam KHwahishen
kabhi ikaTThe icecream khana

us ke kandhe par sar rakh kar so jaana
kabhi muskurana kabhi ro dena

kisi sham halki phuwar mein yunhi us ke sang bahar nikal jaana
chhe sal ho gae hain

wo dur des mein hai aur main tanha
KHwahishen hasrat ka rup dhaar chuki hain

magar mere ghar ka aangan bahut chhoTa hai
meri hasraton ki jagah nahin hai us mein

so main bahut KHush hun muskuraati rahti hun
shukr hai sab achchha chal raha hai

wo dur des gaya hai
