Yun bhi hota hai KHandan mein kya

main
rozana ek sau rupe ujrat ka mulazim hun

mera beTa
tyre pankchar ki dukan par kaam karta hai

aur
ustad ki galiyon aur thappaDon ke alawa

tis rupae rose kamata hai
biwi aur nau-umr beTi

tin chaar baDe gharon mein safai aur bartan dhoti hain!
mujhe yaad nahin

ki kabhi mere kumbe ne mil kar nashta kiya ho
ya

raat ke khane ke baad mil-jul kar baaten ki hon
mere bachche ab

mujh se idi nahin mangte
aur

biwi baaliyon aur gajron ka taqaza nahin karti
hum sab

KHurak puri karne ke liye marte hain
aur

utility bil dene ke liye zinda rahte hain
hum ek dusre se

ajnabiyon ki tarah milte hain
aur

aabai gharon mein kiraya-daron ki tarah rahte hain
