ye ek bachche ka qissa hai
ye bachcha tha bada ziddi

natija ye hua zid ka
ye aadat pad gai us ki

jo sidhi baat bhi kahte
samajhta us ko wo ulti

wo kahta garm ko thanda
wo kahta thand ko garmi

wo kahta farsh ko takiya
wo kahta mez ko kursi

wo kahta hat ko achkan
wo kahta coat ko sadri

wo kahta hauz ko dariya
wo kahta jhil ko naddi

wo kahta gosht ko roti
wo kahta dudh ko pani

wo kahta mirch ko shalgham
wo kahta pyaz ko muli

wo kahta bhed ko ghoda
wo kahta bail ko bakri

khilate us ko gar laddu
wo khana chahta barfi

mangate us se gar aalu
to deta la ke wo gobhi

gharaz main kya kahun 'nayyar'
thi baat us ki har ek aundhi
