Paan ki Dukaan

'Paan Ki Dukaan'

Mera Bharat Mahaan

Sasural ka badiya jal-paan,
Phir bana aik Cigarette ka plan

Mausam accha tha,
Monsoon le aaya tha,
Kareeb 32 pe taapmaan,
2 gali chod ke hi mili,
Aik paan ki dukaan

Socha koi nahin dekhega,
Sab hain yahan anjaan,
Par phir bhi tha hoshiyar,
Kahin koi na le pehchaan!

Paan wale bhaiyya the,
Thodi uchaai pe virajmaan

Dheemi si thi Radio pe,
Chidi puraani koi taan,
Layi man mein muskaan

40 Watt ki maddham roshni ne,
Kiya chupna zara aasan!

Phir maachis ki nishulk suvidha,
Aur matr aik Cigarette kharidne ka,
Kitna accha hai pravdhaan!
Jeb mein nahin rehta koi pramaan!!

Ant mein 'Center Fresh' mitaa daale,
'Bad Breath' ke saare nishaan

Mera Bharat Mahaan!

Ghar laut ke sabko diya aik meetha paan,
Par sab the hairaan,
Raat ke 11 baje,
Kahan the shreemaan?

Biwi bhi thi pareshaan,
Shayad laga liya tha anumaan,
Main thoda sa ghabraya
Par chehra rakhe aik samaan,
Khada raha saavdhaan!

Abhi soch hi raha tha,
Kya karun samadhaan!

Tabhi 'Aaj Tak' par,
Zor se chillaya aik insaan:

"Samaaj mein aayi aur giravat!
Ab dudh mein bhi milavat!
Billi ne dudh peete hi tyag diye praan!
Kya yehi hai Mera Bharat Mahaan?"

Taaza Khabron ne badla dhyan
Aik baar phir bachi jaan
Enjoy kiya phir meetha paan!

Mera Bharat Mahaan!
