Departmental Store Mein by Parveen Shakir

" pearl ka natural pink,
Revolon ka hand lotion
Elizabeth Arden ka blush on bhi,
Medora mein phir nail polish ka koi naya shade aaya hai ?
Mere iss Banafshi dupattey se milti huii
Rim mel mein lipstick mile gi ?
Haa'n, woh Tulip ka shampoo bhi dijiye ga
Yaad aaya
Kuch roz pehle jo tweezer liya tha, woh bilkul bekaar nikla
Doosra dijiye g !
Zara bill bana dijiye !"

" Arre ! Woh jo kone mein ek scent rakha hua hai
Dikhaye'n zara
Isse test kar ke tau dekhu'n
( khudaya! Khudaya!
Yeh khushboo tau uss ki pasandeeda khushboo rahi hai
Sada uss ke malboos se phoot'tii thi ! )"

" zara iss ki qeemat bata de'n !
Iss qadar !!
Achcha, yu'n kijiye
Baaqi cheeze'n kabhi aur le jaoo'n gi
Aaj tau sirf  iss scent ko pack kar dijiye !"
