Pul Bangash, naam to suna hi hoga?
Sach bataun, to chaar saal pehele tak maine nahi suna.
Park hotel ke us pool ke takraw ke baad,
yeah naam saamne aaya.
Pehele to main bohot hansa,
naam ajeeb jo tha.
Malun na tha Dilli mein aisa bhi koi metro station hain,
par jo hain uska kya hi kar sakte hain.
Purani Dilli ki tang gailyo mein basa ek ghar,
jinke logo se pehli baar rubaroo hone wala tha.
Station se utarke jaise hi rickshaw mein baitha,
mano zindagi ka ek alag hi chapter shuru hone wala tha.
Haath thame us rickshaw mein,
dono ki dharkan tez thi.
Maa ko bete ke baare mein haal hi mein pata chala,
aur usi dauran uska boyfriend bhi ghar aa gaya.
Maloom na tha sab kaise sambhlega,
Par chaliya wo kissa kabhi aur sahi.
Logo ka jamghat, sabzi mandi ka traffic,
aazad ghumti gaye aur jagah jagah faile unke gobar;
aisi hui mera un galiyon mein mulaqat.
Par pata hain kya?
Un tang geliyo mein dil bohot bade hain,
aur hain kai rang.
Yahan ka khana hain bohot chatpata,
Aur Diwali ki sajawat shaadi se kam nahi.
Roshnara ka naam kabhi kisi kitab main padha tha,
Aaj mere pao un galiyon se bhi wakif hain.
Jin galiyon mein kabhi na aane ka socha tha,
Dhere dhere woh kab apni si ho gayi pata bhi nahi chala.
Woh kehte hain kabhi humare bare mein bhi likho,
Par koi unhein samjhaye hi likhi yaadein jati hain,
vartamaan nahi.
