Chaanta Pada Hai

"Arey!
News dekhi?"
"Kya dekhna yaar.
Wohi roz ki kahaani hogi.
Kashmir mein itne mar gaye.
Ek aur Arab desh ka
takhta palat gaya.
Kisi bilakhti vidhva se
reporter poochh raha hoga
kaisa mehsoos kar rahi hain aap!
Iss se achha hai
chatt per jaakar
taare ginn-ne baith jaaun."

"Arey nahin!
Badi khabar hai.
Ek aam aadmi ne kal
kisi bade neta ko
bhari bheed mein
chaanta maara!
Dude!
Main toh fan ho gaya uska.
Kya sahi kaam kiya usney."

"Fan ho gaye?
Kal jab
court mein le jaate waqt
raste mein hee
goliyon se bhoon diya jaayega woh,
tab kya karoge tum?

Kal jab
beech baazar mein
sabji khareedte waqt
uski behen ka
rape kar diya jaayega,
tab kya karoge tum?

Kal jab
paas ke hee gali mein
school se aate waqt
uske bete ko
agwaah kar liya jaayega,
tab kya karoge tum?

Kal jab
aane waale elections mein
vote karte waqt
tumhein yaad aayega
uss neta ke diye hue vaade
aur saath hee sharaab ki ek botal
jo uske party waalon ne
tumhein dee thee,
tab kya karoge tum?"

Aur gehre sannatte ke beech
uss aam aadmi ka woh fan
kehta hai
"Arey!
News dekhi?
Sachin phir se chook gaya
apne shatak se."
