pahle paidal paidal jaya karte the
phir donon ek bas mein baitha karte the

wo zulfon ko pichhe karti rahti thi
phir bhi us ke gesu bikhra karte the

wo awwal thi padhne-likhne mein aur hum
pichhe sab se pichhe baitha karte the

nam pukara jata tha jab us ka to
yes-sir yes-sir hum bhi bola karte the

duhre kaam ki aadat bachpan se hi thi
us ki copy bhi hum likkha karte the

us ki nazren rahti thin bas teacher par
hum to kewal us ko dekha karte the
