Innocence

mere bachche ne jab mujh se kaha mamma

zara jugnu mujhe la do

mujhe titli ke rangon ko bhi chhuna hai

sitare aasman par hi uge hain kyun

zamin par kyun nahin aate

mujhe bas chand la do us se khelunga

main chaunk uTThi

yahi kuchh main ne apni man se puchha tha

mera masum sa bachpan

jo muTThi se phisal kar kho gaya shayad

mera bachcha jo mera aaj hai

aur aane wala ek hasin kal hai

lahu mein us ki baaton se hi halchal hai

ye mera qimti pal hai

mera bachcha hasin tabir ban kar samne hai aur

mazi KHwab lagta hai

to kya main KHwab se aage nikal aai
