jo arsa pahle tut gaya
kuchh yaaden un mein baqi hain

fariyaaden bhi kuchh baqi hain
shahnai ka hai koi maddham sur

un diwaron mein gunj raha
aao chalen us khandar mein

jo arsa pahle tut gaya
kuchh sae hamare bachpan ke

kuchh yaad hamare logon ki
is khandar se wabasta hain

thi naqsh bahut si taswiren
is khandar ki diwaron par

tum jaante ho wo kis ki thin
kuchh bachchon ki kuchh budhon ki

kuchh mere apne bachpan ki
aao chalen us khandar mein

jo arsa pahle tut gaya
aur

sath bahut kuchh lut gaya
wo dekh rahe ho banjar til

is khandar ka wo hissa tha
tab sahn use hum kahte the

sab mil ke us mein rote the
sham ki aksar chae hum

us ja par baith ke pite the
aao chalen us hisse mein

jahan baith ke hum sab padhte the
shor machaya karte the

aur sab ko hansaya karte the
kabhi ladte the kabhi rote the

ye dekho ye jo mitti hai
hum is mein khela karte the

aur ghanton khela karte the
wo dekho wo tuti dewdhi

mere ghar ki chaukhat hai
har sal naya sa rang koi

hum log chadhate the is par
jaante ho ye khandar kabhi

aabaad bhi tha shadab bhi tha
hum log isi mein rahte the

ye ghar tha hamara pyara sa
aur pyare pyare log bahut se

sath hamare rahte the
hum jashn manaya karte the

un chahne wale logon ke
lahje ki lahak aankhon ki chamak

qadmon ki dhamak
us ghar ki faza mein gunj rahi

tum ghaur karo aahista chalo
ye khandar nahin hai ghar hai mera

is gardish-e-dauran ne jis ko
yun lut liya barbaad kiya

main laut ke ab jo aai hun
asbab bahut se lai hun

par sunne wala koi nahin
nayab hue wo log sabhi

wo aankhen thak ke mund bhi gai
jo raat ko jaga karti thin

ab ye to bas ek khandar hai
aao chalen is khandar mein
