khwab sarikha chhutpan sawan pyaz ki roti desi ghi
amma ke sil-batte wali dhaniye lahsan ki chatni

kachchi mitti ke ghar jaise bachchon ko sahlate the
gubri wale dalanon par chot kabhi na lagti thi

das-barah chhedon se pani faware sa padta tha
ghar mein tuti tilli wali ek purani si chhatri

cycle thodi chaubis inchi unt chalaya karte the
wo bhi tin charan mein bhayya qainchi danda phir gaddi

nekar wali umron tak hum khak samajhte the juthan
tote ke katre amrudon ko khane ki hod rahi

ghar ki khapdailon ke andar tap-tap megh baraste the
amma babu tankte rahte tin mein sabun ki tikki

aangan ke aaghosh mein lete shab-bhar nam bigade the
taron ko ishtar kahe the aur 'qamar' ko mama ji
