Ditties from Dilli

 Ditties from my childhood


Jungle din bajawe been, ghari mein baj gaye sade-teen

Ganju Patel teri khopdi mein tel

Ek do teen buddhe ki machine, buddha gaya Dilli, wahan se laya billi, Billi ne mara panja, Buddha ho gaya ganja


...and some learnt later 

Pigeon-kabutar udan-fly look-dekho aasman-sky

Sardar ji change ratiyan sowe nange
