Bachpan k dukh kitny achy hoty thy,

Bachpan k dukh kitny achy hoty thy,
tab to sirf khilony toota karty thy,

woh khushiyan b kesi khushiyan theen,
titli k par noch kar uchla karty thy,

paon maar kar barish k pani men ,
apni kashti khud diboya karty thy,

apny jal jany ka ehsaas tak na tha,
jalty huy sholon ko chera karty thy,

choty thy to makr-o-fareb b choty thy,
dana daal kar churian pakra karty thy,

ab to 1 aansoo b badnaam kardeta hy,
bachpan men to ji bhar kar roya karty thy..
