Ek bachpan ka zamana tha

Ek bachpan ka zamana tha,

jisme khushiyon ka khazana tha;

chahat chand ko paane ki thi,

par dil titli ka deewana tha.

Khabar na thi kuch subah ki,

na shaam ka thikana tha;

thak haarke aana school se,

par khelne bhi jaana tha.

Maa ki kahani thi,
pariyon ka fasana tha;
barish mein kagaz ki naav thi,

har mausam suhana tha.

Har khel mein saathi the,
har rishta nibhana tha;
gum ki zuban na hoti thi,
na zakhmon ka paimana tha.

Rone ki wajah na thi,

na hansne ka bahana tha;

kyon ho gaye hum itne bade,

isse achha to woh bachpan ka zamana tha...
