gazab vo din the, maidaanon par hote the jab saare khel;
ab to ghar men baiThe hain bas, sar men khoob lagaakar tel.
pustaken saaree paḌh Daalee hain, rang Daale hain saare chitr,
dhamaachaukaḌee karen bhee kaise, ab jo ghar n aate mitr.
kanpyooTar par klaas hai lagatee, uchhal-kood bhee ghar ke andar,
ghar men aisaa band huaa main maano chiḌiyaaghar men bandar!
pakShee saare cheen-cheen karake phurr-phurr kar uḌ jaate hain,
dekho kaise ghoom rahe ham, kahakar mu(n)h chiḌhaate hain.
thoḌaa gussaa aataa par main ghar men haath ba(n)Taataa hoo(n).
yah sab seekhaa ghar baiThe-- ab khud se hee nahaataa hoo(n),
kas ke baa(n)dhoo(n) maask shakl par, ghis-ghis dhooo(n) haath,
Khatm koronaa ko karake main hooo(n)gaa aazaad!
