Bachpan

jab halki phulki baaton se

naghmon ki tanaben banti thin

jab chhoTe chhoTe lafzon se

afkar ki shamen jalti thin

har chehra apna chehra tha

har darpan apna darpan tha

jo ghar tha hamara hi ghar tha

har aangan apna aangan tha

jo baat labon tak aati thi

wo dil se nahin kar aati thi

kanon mein amrit bharti thi

aur dil ko chhukar jati thi

wo waqt bahut hi pyara tha

wo lamhe kitne miThe the

jis waqt ki ujli rahon par

aaghaz to hai anjam nahin

jis waqt ki ujli rahon par

aaghaz to hai anjam nahin

wo waqt kahan ru-posh hua

jis waqt ka koi nam nahin
