mera bachcha raham jab school se lauta
main ne us se basta apne hath le kar us se puchha

itna bhaari kyun hai basta
tin kitaben le kar tum school gae the

ek pani ki botal thi aur lunch box tha
itna bhaari kyun hai basta

bola baba main kya bolun
rose to ye halka hota hai

aaj na jaane bhaari kyun hai
mujh ko kuchh tashwish hui to

main ne us ka basta khola
khol ke dekha

tin kitaben nahin thin us mein chhe thin
pani ki botal bhi ek nahin thi

do do thin
lunch box bhi do the lekin ek hi jaise

raham ka kuchh khali tha par dusra pura bhara hua tha
socha kaise ho sakta hai

ye to raham ka basta hai
ek baste mein sari chizen do do kyun hain

ek dam mujh ko yaad aaya ki
kal school ke chhalni bachchon mein ek bachcha

raham jitni umr ka bhi tha
bilkul raham ke jaisa tha

raham jaisa hi basta tha
pani botal bhi waisi

lunch box ka color wahi tha
wo bhi mera hi bachcha tha

wo bhi kal school gaya tha
aaj us ne school ki chhutti kar li hai

ab wo chhutti par hi rahega
us ka basta roz utha kar

mera bachcha ghar aaega
