zameen pe hum tatti karte hain
aur aasman ko dekhte hain
lakin zameen hamaree

neelay akash main tum oopar jate ho

Plum-blossoms here and there,
It is good to go north,
Good to go south.

garmioN main door ki lehron ki udasi ho gi
raat main jungle ki halki aahaiN hoN gi

motarma coley ka eent ka makaan
ab yahan nahin hai
ye toDa gaya tha
jab vo apna mota sa shreer

main ne tumhain rani kaha hai
halaN k tum se badi auratain
lambi hain, kafi lambi hain
saaf suthri hain, kafi saaf suthrie hain

apnay chootaD par dus centimeter ka zipper bund kartay hue
Diezel ki jeans pehnay hue
...

Abou Ben Adhem
khuda kare tera khandaan bahut baDa ho
khuda tumhain betay, betiaN, potay, potriaN dey!
tera naam Bin Laden se milta juDta hai

Apni aankhaiN vo mere saath milti hai
kya main us ko pyaar karta hoon
jaan-na chahti hai
apna sub saas kho bethi hai
...
