hamare sath wale ghar mein lagta hai diwali hai
dar-o-diwar par hai rang-o-araish misali hai

laga hai baghban bhi raat-din is ki sajawat mein
nae paude lage mahki hui phulon ki dali hai

hai mehmanon se raunaq kis qadar in ke yahan dekho
ye khala hain wo khalu hain ye sala hai wo sali hai

koi ghar mein hi ghanton se lagi hai aaj make-up mein
to koi parlour mein dopahar se yarghamali hai

aziz-o-rishta-dar aae hue hain dur se sare
samundar par kar ke sas bhi aane hi wali hai

bahut masrur-o-shadan hai udhar jis par nazar dalo
chamak aankhon mein sab ke aur sab galon pe lali hai

emergency mein lady doctor aur nurse hazir hain
khadi hai ambulance jis par laga parcham hilali hai

kitchen se aa rahi hai ishtiha-amez jo khushbu
abhi thaalon mein bawarchi ne biryani nikali hai

hamein dawat nahin bheji magar khana to bhejenge
so hum ne bhi idhar apni rakabi dho ke dali hai

magar ye majra kya hai jo puchha hum ne begam se
to bolin jhenp kar wo baat kya is mein nirali hai

chhalangen marti phirti thi jo kal tak mohalle mein
kaha karte the tum lagta hai ye shaitan ki sali hai

bade naz-o-niam se jis ko pala hai padosan ne
usi nat-khat si billi ke wiladat hone wali hai
