main apane bachapan ko fir se dhoondhata hoon. hal ai dil!

aaj bhi vakt ke is padav pe baithakar zara sochata hoon,
main apane bachapan ko fir se dhoondhata hoon।
vo din bhar doston ke sang baithana,
vo bholi bholi baten karana,
vo nae nae sapane bunana,
vo baith kar chand ko takana der tak,
vo bhagana idhar udhar kahate hue,
ke dekho chand mera pichha kare,
aaj fir us chand ko dekhata hoon,
aur charakha katati amma ko dhoondhata hoon।
main apane bachapan ko fir se dhoondhata hoon।

fir baitha hoon us gali men,
guzara jahan bachapan apana,
kiya karate the intazar ham sab dost yar,
the vo chini baboo ek,
late the jo ham sabake lie chat,
fir ghar ke us chabootare par baithakar,
main bachapan ke us dost ko dhoondhata hoon.
main apane bachapan ko fir se dhoondhata hoon.


jane hain kitani hi yaden,
mushkil hai jinako bhoolana,
umr beshak badh rahi hai,
par nata jinase nahi tootata,
han main usi nate ko dhoondhata hoon,
main apane bachapan ko fir se dhoondhata hoon.
