Bachpan

"Beta Saanjh ho Chali hai, itna hi Khel kafi hai"
"Bus maan, thori der aur", balak itna kah phir
khel main magan ho jaata hai.

"Beta Diya-Batti ka samay ho gaaya hai, itna hi
Khel kafi hai"
"Bus maan, thori der aur", balak andhere main
khoi gaind dhoodhne main vyast hai

"Accha pahle bhagwan ke hath jod, phir thori
der aur khel le"
Beta bhag kar aata hai, jaldi se hath jod kar
phir aangan main chala jaata hai.

Maan ab bahar aa gaayi hai, ab khel band nahin
kiya toh pitai hogi.
"Bus, do minute aur maan, do minute aur,
Bus do minute aur" kahkar shaitan muskarata hai,
minnat karta hai

Maan ab nahin sunegi, khel ab khatm, Kal phir naya
khel hoga.
