Indepandence Day
By Rajiv Walia
Mai aur Ashish aur hamari tanhaai.
Aksar chat par baitha karte,
aur ladkiyon ko dekha karte.

Ek din achaanak toofan aaya,
saamne waali aunty ne hum par,
nazron ka teer chalaaya.
Itne main aunty ki beti ne,
saath waali khidki se,
chalaane ko teer uthaaya.

Yeh dekh uss ki maa tanik sharmaai,
aur uss ne apni nazar chupai,
Itne mai hamaari padosan,
hamaare liye chaaye le aayi.

Phir humne doosri aur nazar ghumaai,
wahaan bhi hamne ek maa aur usski beti paai.
Yeh dekh hamaari aankhhen bhar aayi.
Hume kya pata tha,
aazaadi ka din iss tarha manaya jaayega,
maa aur beti ka naya andaaz saamne aayega.
