Acha bolo Parveen*, batao na, kaisi rahi Happy Diwali

Kya sunau Rubina! Is baar to humne hadd hi kar dali

Itni badi Rangoli banayi, subah se shaam ho gayi

Rang bharte-bharte, pair kya, kamar bhi so gayi

Diye hum mall se la sakte the, par bilkul bhi nahi

Humne street walon se liye, unki bhi chandi kar di

Manyavar se inka kurta, firstcry se liya lehanga bitiya ka

Aur apni char-paanch ethnic dresses ko customize kara liya

WhatsApp status par filter wale photos nirantar daal diye

Thank you, same to you sab saath ke saath hi nipta diye

Meetha khaaya, par zyada nahi, diet hil jata hai na

Gluten-free daba ke khaaya, aajkal easily mil jata hai na

Patakhe hum ab chalaate nahi, pollution hota hai na

Bas phuljhari wali reel bana li, shagun hota hai na

Aur safai-shafai nahi ki kya Parveen?

Are, uska samay nahi mila, Urbanclap walon se karaya clean

Par na jane kyun, Diwali ki shaam aate-aate, saans phool si gayi

Diye kuchh aakhri jalaate-jalaate, aankh chook si gayi

Kitna karna hai, kya-kya karna hai ki gaadi chhoot na jaye

Ek chhor se dusri aur bhaagte-bhaagte, koi rooth na jaye

Bas isi ghaflat mein ki sab kar rahe hain, hum bhi sahi

Shayad yehi karna hota hoga, kisne suni, kisne kahi

Bas kul-milaake is shorgul mein ek achhi baat thi

Ghar pahunch gaye, bahana hi sahi, par party sabke saath thi!
