for the doctor, who wasn't

Ek shikari ek anadi, mile kahan pe? jeevan pahadi! Chatur shikari bada khiladi, mand buddhi pareshaan anadi! Bhatka ek din yeh savaari, milgaye kayi lomdi vyapari! Lomdi bole chacha shikari, hum aapke hai bade pujaari! Tum to thehre teerandaz, tumhare nishane ka kya hai andaaz! Teeter bater pe jaan kyon haari, aao shikaar kare kuch bhaari!
