Aafat gale paDi hai usko nibha raha hooN.

Aafat gale paDi hai, usko nibha raha hooN.
Gyaarah baje heiN subah ke,
madam ji so rahi heiN.
bachche khaDeiN hein bhooke,
naashta bana raha hooN.

bistar se jo uthiN, jaa baithi computer par
ghoora hai mujhko eise,ki chaay bana raha hooN.
rakha hai naam jisne, sahi rakha hai 'FRI' DAY
Begum ki cooking se chhutti,mera hai aaj 'TRI' DAY
kahti heiN sar meiN dard hai, phone par busy heiNhar aadhe ghante kitchen meiN,khud 'FRI' hota jaa raha hooN
boli ek din "mulk pe likhte ho,siyaasat pe likhte ho
barg-o-samar pe,phooloN ki nafasat pe likhte ho
idhar dekho meiNe baaloN pe colour karwaya hai
ye rang-e-zulf ka hi tumhari adhoori zulfoN pe saaya hai

meiNe dheere se kaha "ya khuda mujhko rahnumai de
zulfoN ko hatakar, aankhoN meiN roshnai de
kaaghaz bhi mere paas hai, syahi bhi mayassar
warq paDa hai saada, meiN sar khuja raha hooN.

F.M. par sun rahi thiN, ghazal MeNhdi hassan ki
boli ki ye batao, "likhi hu'ee hai kiski?
shaayar nahiN tha maloom,
sar khuja raha hooN

boli shayar bane ho firte, koi sher phir na kahna
sherni hooN meiN bhi, ye yaad ab se rakhna

aate heiN phone ghar se,"aaye nahiN kyuN ab tak"
traffic meiN car phaNsi hai,meiN horn baja raha hooN.

jaana hai hamko baahar,bibi heiN aayeaine par
tayyar khaDa hooN kabse, chaabi ghuma raha hooN.
T.V. ke kisi serial par sanjeeda lag rahi heiN
apne hi lateefe par, khud muskra raha hooN.
wo Mall meiN ghoom rahiN heiN,meiN trolly liye hu'e hooN.
trolly meiN pheNkti cheezeiN, meiN kareene se saja raha hooN.
wo karti jaati heiN "shopping"
meri hoti jaati hai "Chopping"

MeNhgaayee ki maar se mujhe dar tha na kabhi gila
baDte kharchoN se bibi ke, maara jaa raha hooN.

kaha jo meiNe ek din "Recession" chal raha hai
boli chupp raho, shopping ka "occasion" chal raha hai
kabhi gussa bhi karooN, himmat juta'ooN kaise?
maahir hooN 'marshal art' ka, 'Belan' pe jaaN gaNwaa raha hooN.
