Bachpan ki ek barsat

Barish ka wo mausam ho
rim-ghim girti bundaen hoon
Nani ka wohi angna ho
paeroon main wohi payaliya ho

socha kaise bachauun khud ko
en pagli bundoon sae
tip-tip kar k, mare chahrae pae
moti girae to bawali hogae main
hawa k jhoonkae jo ae to
saundhi mitti ki khushbu nasha de gae mujh ko
chanchal payliya nae shoor machaya to
khud ko sambhal nae ko main bhagi
par na jana na samjha
chat par main kaise pahuch
phir wohi bachpan laut aya
phir wohi barish nachna
wo kagaz ki kashti main dujae des jana
phir wohi nani ki dant khana
nani ka wo kehna 'pardes sa aee char din ki mehman hai tu'
'ho na jae kahin bemar tu'
phir nani ki goodi main sir rakh kar
pariyon k des main ghumna
mamta ki us godi main methe nindiya main kho jana

kya kisi khab se hoon jage koi to batade
wakht ko koi to pechae modh dae
bita wo ek hi pal koi lauta de

pardes se phir ae hai yeh teri bitiya par
nani yeh ghar ab suna-suna lage
tere bin yeh barish bhi tufan lage
kis des ko ho gae ki ana hi bhuul gae

barish se huun bhigi ya
ansuoon main huun naha gae kya kahoon
bas woh bacnpan ki ek barsat laout aee
dil bas yahi dua mangae
