Gully danda
Gully danda
Was my favorite game
And my classmate
Ramgopal
Goal like football's mouth
Nose like a fritter
Stature short
But the master of this game,
Looked like a monkey
But He crafted
On paper
Beautiful pictures
Played this game many times
In the Ramleela ground
Of old Delhi
In those times
It was the game of the poor
But I
Wasn't that poor
Could play other games too
But found great joy
In playing gully danda
I don't remember
What I won against it
Always, always troubled
By that victory.
