aap mujhe bachcha mat kahiye
main kya jaanun bachpan kya hai

ghar kya ghar ka aangan kya hai
jo kuchh hai footpath hai apna

janam janam ka sath hai apna
han kuchh din school gaya hun

lekin sab kuchh bhul gaya hun
sahab ke jute chamkaun

hotel hotel paya jaun
garage garage kaam karun main

mehnat subh-o-sham karun main
sadkon par kartab dikhlaun

local train mein gana gaun
sal mahine ghadiyan bechun

mele mein phuljhadiyan bechun
aap mujhe bachcha mat kahiye
