    vo ik mazdūr laḌkī hai

    bahut āsān hai mere liye us ko manā lenā

    zarā ārāsta ho luuñ

    mirā ā.īna kahtā hai

    kisī sab se baḌe but-sāz shahkār huuñ goyā

    maiñ shahroñ ke tabassum-pāsh nazzāroñ paalā huuñ

    maiñ parvarda huuñ bāroñ qahva-ḳhānoñ fazāoñ

    maiñ jab shahroñ rañgīñ titliyoñ ko chheḌ letā huuñ

    maiñ jab ārāsta ḳhalvat-kadoñ mez par kar

    sharāboñ se bhī ḳhush-rañg phūloñ ko apnā letā huuñ

    to phir ik gaañv paalī huī ma.asūm laḌkī

    mire bas meñ na aa.egī

    bhalā ye kaise mumkin hai?

    aur

    phir aise meñ jab maiñ chāhtā huuñ pyaar kartā huuñ

    zarā baiTho

    maiñ dariyā ke kināre

    dhaan ke khetoñ meñ ho aa.uuñ

    yahī mausam hai

    jab dhartī se ham roTī ugāte haiñ

    tumheñ taklīf to hogī

    hamāre jhoñpaḌoñ meñ chārpā.ī bhī nahīñ hotī

    nahīñ maiñ ruk ga.ī

    to dhaan tak paanī na aa.egā

    hamāre gaañv meñ

    barsāt to ek mausam hai

    ki jab ham

    saal bhar ke vāste kuchh kaam karte haiñ

    idhar baiTho

    parā.ī laḌkiyoñ ko is tarah dekhā nahīñ karte

    ye lipstick

    ye powder

    aur ye scarf

    kyā hogā

    mujhe khetoñ meñ mazdūrī se fursat nahīñ miltī

    mire hoñToñ pe ghanToñ buuñd paanī nahīñ paḌtī

    mire chehre mire baazū pe aur dhuup rahtī hai

    gale meñ sirf pītal ye chandan haar kaafī hai

    havā meñ dilkashī hai

    aur fazā sonā luTātī hai

    mujhe un se aqīdat hai

    yahī merī matā.a merī nemat hai

    bahut mamnūn huuñ lekin

    huzūr aap apne tohfe

    shahr pariyoñ meñ le jaa.eñ

    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
