suraj dhalta hai
aur bam girta hai

aur bam girte hain
suraj dhalne se

suraj chadhne tak
chadhe hue din mein bhi idhar udhar

bam girte rahte hain
lekin koi chikh sunai nahin deti

pahle deti thi
ab koi nahin rota

gahre gahre gadhe hain aur gadhon
mein

galta hua insani mas hai bacha-khucha
aur chaaron jaanib

inten patthar sariya tute hue
darwaze khidkiyan kutta billi chil

aur dare dare kuchh log
udhar udhar se jhankte hain

udhar udhar chhup jate hain
bam girta hai

lekin ek khandar mein cigarette jalta hai
bujhta hai

jalta hai
dar ghusse mein dhalta hai

rocket chalta hai
rocket chalta hai

duniya chikhti hai
aur bam girta hai

to
kisi ko sunai nahin deta

kisi ko dikhai nahin deta
