dekho pardon ko achchhi tarah khinch dur
aur sab khidkiyan band kar do

aur us band kamre se bahar niklo
us mein bosida sofon pe ek mota kapda chadha kar

tum ne un ko is andaz se rakh diya hai
ki ab daen kone mein

ukhdi safedi pe silan ke dhabbe
kam-o-besh nazron se poshida hain

aur baen taraf
tute dibbon

purane khaton
zang-alud tuti paleton

aur bosida pinjron ke ek dher ko
tum ne ek lambi chaudi si chadar se

achchhi tarah dhak diya hai
aur ab baqi kamra

bada saf-suthra nazar aa raha hai
dekho tuti hui carnas ko bhi

ek shokh kapde se dhak kar
us par wo zar-shamen jala do

ki jin ki sisakti hui raushni mein
tumhaare khad-o-khal malum hote hain mauzun

aur kone mein rakhe hue
chhote recordplayer par hawa disk rakh do

ki jis mein purani si ek lai mein
bas chand lafzon ki takrar hai

dekho us band kamre se bahar na niklo
kabhi bhul kar bhi

barabar ke kamre mein hargiz na jao
kyun ki wo sal-ha-sal se band hai

ye bhi mumkin hai
zahrile kide-makode wahan pal rahe hon

ye bhi mumkin hai
ab tak wo bhuton ka ghar ban chuka hai

dekho us band kamre se bahar na niklo
kyun ki mumkin hai ab tak

wo zakhmi barahna band
bagh ke ek goshe mein dam todte hon

han agar ho sake to kisi se kaho
un ke khun-gashta jismon pe

zartar lafzon ki poshak dhak kar
un ko bahar padi kursiyon par bitha de

ta ki us rah se koi guzre
to kah de ki sab thik hai

tum magar phir bhi sab khidkiyan band rakho
aur pardon ko achchhi tarah khinch do

aur us band kamre se bahar na niklo
dekho us band kamre se bahar na niklo
