firing ho rahi hai
firing ho rahi hai

cricket khelte hue bachche
shor machate hain

magar ghar mein nahin jate
jaise firing ek jadid lok git hai

jis ki dhun par
shor machate daudte hue

cricket kheli ja sakti hai
ya phir

bachchon ginti sikhane ka
koi naya tariqa

wo rozana ek se das
das se sau

aur phir baghair ruke sau se hazar tak ja pahunche hain
magar firing band nahin hoti

wo musalsal jari rahti hai
hamein pata chalta hai

bahut mamuli wajh se
firing hoti rahti hai

do dost ek chidiya ko
kapde se bani ek dari hui chidiya ko marne ke liye nishana bazi ki mashq kar rahe the

ya do bhai chhat par rakhe hue
ghi ke khali dibbon sharbat ki botalon ko

aasani se niche lana chah rahe the
ya diwar par chipke hue

pachas paise ke khote sikke ko
zamin par girane ke liye

itni goliyan chalain gain
ki log dar gae

unhen darna nahin chahiye
hum kahte hain itni chhoti baaton par

unhen darna nahin chahiye
firing to aaghaz hai

kachhwe aur khargosh ki daud ka
chuhe aur billi ke muqable ka

agar aap use mausiqi samajhte hain
to phir puri tarah us se lutf-andoz hun

shor samajhte hain
to apne kanon mein rui thuns len

dastak samajhte hain
to apne ghar ka darwaza

dil ki tarah band rakhen
aur jab tak

firing ho rahi hai
bahar na niklen
