ghar men daḳhil hote hi
ham ḳhud ko avazen dene lagte hain
aur kapdon se bhara shopping bag
phenk dete hain bed ke niche
rakhte hain apne juute sofe par
aur almari ke daraz se kachche amrud nikal kar
bed-shēt se ragadte hain
aur katarne lagte hain chaar din purane biscuit
jab bhi nazar padti hai aaine pe
ḳhud ko galiyan dete hain
t.V se ton ton ki avaz aane par
remote ke saat tukde kar ke
billi ke aage Daal dete hain
credit ḳhatm ho jaane par
cell-phone pe shirin lahje vaali doshiza ko
khari khari sunate hain
aur frēze ke nichle darvaze ko zor se band kar ke
ḳhali oven men so jaate hain
