chuhon ke karishme

chūhe ik din kitchen meñ pahuñche

le kar apne chille pille

ḳhālī dekh ke saarā kamra

Daal diyā har ik ne Derā

sāmne un ke jo bhī aaya

khāyā thoḌā bahut girāyā

dāñtoñ se sab kaajū kutrā

jī-bhar kar bādām churāyā

farsh pe chīnī kuchh phailā dī

ketchup kī botal luḌhkā dī

Dhamak Dham Dham Dhol bajā.e

Tiin ke kuchh Dabbe bikhrā.e

shaam huī to miyāñ pakauḌe

ghar ko jab daftar se lauTe

jā kar kitchen kā kholā taalā

dekhā to thā haal nirālā

kamre meñ das biis the chūhe

baaqī peT meñ dauḌ rahe the

Than-Than kartī degchiyoñ se

sab sar apnā phoḌ rahe the

achchhe achchhe Dish chaT kar ke

chāroñ jānib ghuum rahe the

ġhusse meñ the miyāñ pakauḌe

ho kar vo be-qābū dauḌe

chūhā koī haath na aaya

aadhā ghanTa ḳhud ko thakāyā

itne meñ ik huā dhamākā

khiḌkī se billī ne jhāñkā

kah kar myā.un haañk lagā.ī

jaan pe chūhoñ ke ban aa.ī

marne kī jab aa.ī naubat

bhaag paḌe sab hasb-e-ādat

dum ko dabā kar saare bhāge

billī pīchhe chūhe aage

sabr ke khā kar laDDū thoḌe

bed pe pahuñche miyāñ pakauḌe

chuhe ek din kitchen mein pahunche

le kar apne chille pille

KHali dekh ke sara kamra

Dal diya har ek ne Dera

samne un ke jo bhi aaya

khaya thoDa bahut giraya

danton se sab kaju kutra

ji-bhar kar baadam churaya

farsh pe chini kuchh phaila di

ketchup ki botal luDhka di

Dhamak Dham Dham Dhol bajae

Tin ke kuchh Dabbe bikhrae

sham hui to miyan pakauDe

ghar ko jab daftar se lauTe

ja kar kitchen ka khola tala

dekha to tha haal nirala

kamre mein das bis the chuhe

baqi peT mein dauD rahe the

Than-Than karti degchiyon se

sab sar apna phoD rahe the

achchhe achchhe Dish chaT kar ke

chaaron jaanib ghum rahe the

ghusse mein the miyan pakauDe

ho kar wo be-qabu dauDe

chuha koi hath na aaya

aadha ghanTa KHud ko thakaya

itne mein ek hua dhamaka

khiDki se billi ne jhanka

kah kar myaun hank lagai

jaan pe chuhon ke ban aai

marne ki jab aai naubat

bhag paDe sab hasb-e-adat

dum ko daba kar sare bhage

billi pichhe chuhe aage

sabr ke kha kar laDDu thoDe

bed pe pahunche miyan pakauDe
