Middle-class

tumhein malum hai na

hamara sahn chhoTa hai aur us mein chand KHwab hi ba-mushkil pure utarte hain

itna khana jo ghar mein aae mehman par bhi pura ho

man ki dawaen waqt par aa jaen

bap ko aKHbar roz milta rahe

bachchon ko qadre-behtar school mein paDha saken

bahan ki shadi ho jae bhai bhi kisi qabil ho jae

main bahar ja kar tumhaare man bap ke liye bhi kuchh karunga

wapas jab aaunga tumhein kangan dilwa dunga

yahin kahin koi chhoTi si dukan bana lunga

so ye sab pura karne ko wo bahar des chala gaya hai

use rozgar mil gaya hai sab achchha chal raha hai

lekin kuchh KHwahishen hain na-tamam KHwahishen

kabhi ikaTThe icecream khana

us ke kandhe par sar rakh kar so jaana

kabhi muskurana kabhi ro dena

kisi sham halki phuwar mein yunhi us ke sang bahar nikal jaana

chhe sal ho gae hain

wo dur des mein hai aur main tanha

KHwahishen hasrat ka rup dhaar chuki hain

magar mere ghar ka aangan bahut chhoTa hai

meri hasraton ki jagah nahin hai us mein

so main bahut KHush hun muskuraati rahti hun

shukr hai sab achchha chal raha hai

wo dur des gaya hai
