Deal
na koe kagez per likheye do bol,
do taref kee ulfet ka kyoon bhela tum tarashteye, proof?
na sign honeye diyeye, aur lefzen deal wapis bhi leye le!
aur khetey hein iss ko deal
tum neye,
khoob hemderdee le,
khoob masoom bheneye, goya,
khoob ter ho geye, apni beye-hisee meye jeisey jameel
ibraat-nak, bhenateye gayeye, apni aik na-zeiba tekdeer
tumheye,
yeye deal kerna ata hota,
tow itneye setcheye munafeye na kho deiteye
yeye deal iman dari seye kee hoti
tow invested, itneye ‘wasted’ na hoteye!!!
…
leikin, mard zaat kee khobiyoon meye seye aik,
deal ka dava kerna
kiya kerna, mehez dava kerna,
aur iss ko phir null and void kerna
jeisey koe dukan dari meye chowree kareye,
beye shumar, beye intiha
…
…
ubb tum seye deal koe aur karey ga,
ubb tum sey sign kisi aur keye hoon geye
apney nahi, tumhareye nahi
Khuda na kareye, shayid aik aur insan kee,
zaat aur masoom kushiyoon ko notcho geye tum
phir bhi tumheye kushee nahi mileye gee,
jeisey ho tum.
baki baat rahi
muhabet kee… tu!
tow jano keye yeye itni liquid nahi
keye bik jayeye, beg kareye,
aur yaad na raheye tumheye
…
bohet bar-ha ayey jeb iss ka khiyal,
keye na kerteye ruswa iss ko,
tow khood meye ho jao geye, beye-hal
sotcho geye apneye sowda-e-karobar ka miyaar!!!
phir, reverse kerna chaho geye aisee deal…
kiya, ker pao geye ubb keye aik fair deal??
bolo, keisee heye yeye deal?
