Ek ladki ka chunaav
(to select a girl for marriage)

Vivah ke liye ladki dekhana hai ek aisi bimari,
Chari rehti hai mujhe har din bin piye khumari,
Line un ki hai bahut lambi, aati nahin bari,
Dekhene un ko mein jata huin kar Ghore ki sawari.
Ek bhainghi larki ne mujhe aankh jo mari,
Uttar gaya nasha sab, chahe pee thi bottle sari.
Ek boli mera pita doctor hai,
Shadi jo tum mujh se karo ge,
Doongi tujhe main ek aisi goli,
Khelenge har din ham pyar ki holi.
Phir ek din klehne lagi ek amirzadi,
Agar tum karoge mujh se shadi,
Ban jainge hum amir jab mar jaigi dadi.
Ruki ek din mere ghar par jo car,
Nikali ek ladki liye hathon mein haar,
Kehne lagi aao mil kar gayein malhar,
Jeevan mein apane le aaine bahar.
Bapu mera singer hai,moonchein hein lachhedar,
Agar yakin na ho to parah lo yeh akhbar.
Ek ne laga rakhi thi apne hathon par mendi,
Aate hi ander oh mainu kehndi,
Dekh gaur se kis ka likha hai naam,
Kar lo mujh se shadi, bara achha hai kam,
Agar tum ne nah ki kar doongi badnam.
Ek ladki jo bana kar layee thi chai,
Poochane lagi mujh se kiya hai tumari rai?
Maine dekha jo usko to sharma gayi woh,
Gir gayi tray haath se, aayee bahut badbo,
The us mein meat ke samose aur pakore,
Vegetarian hein hum, keh ke hum dhoure.
Dekhi phir ek ladki bahut bholi bhali,
Pita tha uska ek bagh ka mali,
Mein ne jo us par ek nazar dali,
Us ne roni si apani soorat bana li,
Lagi mujh se kahne,didi wahan hai kali zulfon wali.
Ek ladki ko dekh kar mujhe aah gaya chakar,
Pita tha vakil us ka hooai meri us se takkar,
Poochhe us ne mujh ko itne there sawal,
Mujh ko aah gaya paseena hua bura haal.
Jo likha tha kismet mein hona wahi tha,
Dekh kar itenian ladkian mein thak chukka tha,
Koi lambi, koi kali aur koi thi moti,
Koi patali koi gori aur koi thi chhoti.
Kar di mein ne haan, thi woh ek teacher,
Kene lagi mujh se, na karo mujhko nirash,
Mein baithi hoon aas lagai kab se Kailash.
Bas ho gayi shadi, band ho gaya chunaav,
Ab samajh mein ayaa aate-chawal ka bhauv.
