wo bachpan ke din...

na samjho yoon tanhaai main , thakti aankhon se kuch khoj raha hoon ,
guzra jo maa ke saaye main , wo apna sa pal soch raha hoon...

nidar hokar nikla ghar se , jab jab mein der se aaya tha,
takte takte raahein tab maa ne , khud ko muntazir banaya tha...woh apna sa pal....

ojhal ho nainan se maa ki jab, mein maati khakar aaya tha,
ma-ma kahta kuch liye muuh , kuch liye haath main , use khilane laaya tha.... woh apna sa pal...

naaraji se papa ki meine , jab aankhon ko chalkaaya tha ,
ponch ponch haathon se aur choom choom tab maa ne ,geeley gaalon ko sukhaaya tha..woh apna sa pal......

jaadon main sooraj ki dhoop, jo kaaya ko tapaati thi ,
kuch raahat pahunchaane tab mujhko , maa chaaya ban jaati thi ...woh apna sa pal....

chat per lete garmi ki un raaton main , jab hawaaein. tan ko kapkapaati thi,
aanchal hi chadar bana tab ,maa mujhko udhaati thi...woh apna sa pal....

bairi raat dara jo mujhko, neend chura le jaati thi,
maa tab kuch gaa-kuch gungunakar, chain ki neend sulaati thi...woh neend bhare pal ...

waqt is jeevan ka jo, maa ne khushhaal banaaya tha ,
bachpan tha mera woh, jo kal sapne main aaya tha...
woh bachpan ke pal soch raha hoon...

word for clarification: muntazir: one who waits...
