Hindi… Tu Tension na le!

Kabhi phirangi, kabhi swadesi, aayenge daraane vaale

Meri najar se dekho, to teree raah mein phaile bas ujaale

Hindi… tu tension na le!

Ai bhaasha hindustani, tu 22 jubaanon ko jodata ek pul hai

Tu gaana superhit, picture houseful hai

Tu dakshin se pashchim ke beech guphtagoo hai

Rail kisee disha chale, sang chalati tu hai

Tujhe maine door andamaan mein bhi suna hai, tujhe bolakar maine anjaanon se rishta buna hai

Tu tootee phootee sahee, har praant mein chal jaatee hai

Jis jubaan pade, us jubaan dhal jaatee hai

Tu bin bolee rishvat hai, tu desh kee aadat hai

Tu chai ke sang chhan jaatee hai, akhabaar se vichaar ban jaatee hai

Tu pehli likhee shaayari hai, tu raunak-e-daayaree hai

Tu radio kee commentary hai, achaanak nikala ‘O Teri’ hai

Tu english kee class mein chupake se kee hansee-thitholee hai

Tu chunaav ka naara hai, netaon ki bolee hai

Tu gaadee ke band sheeshon mein nikalee dil kee bhadaas hai

Tu hamaara sach hai, ‘sophistication’ ka jab utarata libaas hai

Urdu kee sohabat mein, too mehfilon ka taraana hai

Angreji tujhse dostee chaahe, use ‘Masses’ tak jo jaana hai

Tu ads kee tagline hai, WhatsApp pe aaya har teesara joke hai

Teri khoobsurati ye hai ki tu be-rok tok hai

Tujhe bolne se pehle hindustaani sochata nahin hai

Tujhe sahee bolen ya galat, koee ijjat nochata nahin hai

Tujhe khatara hai bhi agar, to hai apane hee matvaalon se

Subway ko ‘paidal paarpath’ likhane vaalon se

Sarkaaree file-on mein ghutatee hai jo saalon se

Aise bhaasha ke svayambhoo rakhavaalon se

Teri raah hai roshan, jo tere rakhavaale hee na bane pairon ke chhaale

Hindi… Tu Tension na le!
