Yeh duniya hai,
Yeh hashtag ki duniya hai.

Iss hashtag ki duniya mein,
Tu zor-shor se ‘Bol’

Tu tweet kar,
Retweet kar aur khullam khulla Bol.

Lights, camera, action,
Ho gaya… now roll!

Selfie-shelfie, Facebook, Insta,
ROFL, LMAO, LOL.

Iss bheed bhaad main,
ched chaad main, tu azaadi se ‘Bol’

Shor sharaba, khoon kharaba, aisa waisa jhol,
Phone utha, button daba aur khol de sabki pol.

Zara sar utha ke!
Haath baja ke! zor zor se ‘Bol’
Kuch teekhe-meekhe, tedhe-medhe, seedhe-saadhe ‘Bol’

Odia, Tamil ya Malayalam...koi bhi bhasha ‘Bol’
tu shaad hai, azaad hai, so c'mon now just ‘Bol’ !
