bachpan

na.ī na.ī duniyā lagtī thī na.e na.e se log

khiltī kaliyāñ sub.h savere kaise maddham maddham

hairat hotī phuul pe kaise jam jaatī hai shabnam

chiḌiyoñ kī āvāz sunātī ghuñgrū jaisī chham-chham

bārish kī būñdeñ girtīñ peḌoñ pe rim-jhim rim-jhim

bargad kī dāḌhī ko pakḌe bachche peñg baḌhāte

kavve mainā koyal chiḌiyāñ mil kar shor machāte

maañ ke hāthoñ kī ik ḳhushbū bastī thī roTī meñ

binā shakkar lagtā thā mīThā ThanDā ThanDā paanī

thā kitnā ma.asūm sā bachpan baat na ham ne jaanī

vo panchhī mīThī āvāzeñ nuur sī ujlī bhor

phisal ga.ī kyoñ haath se apne vo sapnoñ kī Dor

nai nai duniya lagti thi nae nae se log

khilti kaliyan subh sawere kaise maddham maddham

hairat hoti phul pe kaise jam jati hai shabnam

chiDiyon ki aawaz sunati ghungru jaisi chham-chham

barish ki bunden girtin peDon pe rim-jhim rim-jhim

bargad ki daDhi ko pakDe bachche peng baDhate

kawwe maina koyal chiDiyan mil kar shor machate

man ke hathon ki ek KHushbu basti thi roTi mein

bina shakkar lagta tha miTha ThanDa ThanDa pani

tha kitna masum sa bachpan baat na hum ne jaani

wo panchhi miThi aawazen nur si ujli bhor

phisal gai kyon hath se apne wo sapnon ki Dor
