bhaari sa basta blazer pe tikane ki koshish karte
blazer ke button khule, tie latki, bhahen chadhi style marte thand mein marte
tadke subah dhundh mein bus stop pe vicharte
ek saal badi senior ko dekh ke aahein bharte
hum school bus ka intezaar karte the
schooli kaydon se toh bhali-bhanti vakif the hum
par stop aur class mein achchi ladkiyon ki sankhya thi kum
toh marta kya na karta mann bechara bana besharm
baat ka koi chor toh mile, itna sa par reh jata tha gum
pehli hi sidhi pe fisalne se darte the
yahan dil liye baitha tha kitne hi armaan
vahan voh yeh na keh de, jaan na pehchan mein tera mehman
kehte the khud ko soch kuch toh bus aane se pehle budhdhiman
pandrah minute baad agli subah tak rahoge varna fir anjaan
sardi se akade huae humare lab bhi bas 'hi hello' pe thaharte the
hothon ko gol kar fukne valon ki tarah dhuan udana bhi achcha hi tha
bada stylish lagta tha mujhe toh, aakhir mein bhi bachcha hi tha
voh kya sochti thi pata nahi par mera prayatna sachcha hi tha
vaise bhi sochte the hum ki milna toh humein gachcha hi tha
aur cigarette ki style toh isliye ki hum din raat TV jo charte the
dhundh se pare har bus ki chamakti roshni mann baitha jaati thi
'aaj toh baat kar nalayak' dimaag mein yahi baat aati thi
kabhi kabhi do kadam badhane ki takat aa bhi jaat thi
par voh dekhti jais hi humein toh kabhi baste mein kuch kho jata toh kabhi lace khul jaati thi
mand muskaan uski khoob samajhte the
khatam hone aayi sardi parikshaon ka samay ho chala tha
humne toh svikar liya tha ki humara bhagya hi khokhla tha
duniya bhar mein padhai ko lekar ho hulla tha
yah prem shastra toh chodo aur kuch bhi nikle toh bhala tha
pitaji ke badey haath ki kalpana kar bhi siharte the
umeedein toh chod chuke the ab bas chootne hi vali thi vardi
dimag mein badhti jaa rahi thi teji se vaicharik gardi
humne socha chodo ab alag shifts mein chadoge yun bhi tum agli sardi
tabhi prabhu ko hui humse tanik humdardi
aakhir pooja paath kar hi sawarte the
thand ko pankh se lag gaye ek haath kandhe par jo aya
hum palte, khud ko chimti kaati, isi duniya mein paya
aasmani us apsara ne humari ore madad ka haath badhaya
pichle saal ki 'pariksha bodh' lene ghar pe humein bulaya
fir hum nachte the, gaate the, uchalte the
jab hum school bus ka intezaar karte the.
