main hun ek bachcha mazdur
bachpan se hun koson dur

subh se kaam pe jata hun
sham ko wapas aata hun

main bhi padhna chahta hun
aage badhna chahta hun

khel kud ko waqt nahin
kya ji main bad-bakht nahin

chahta hun ghubbare lun
ham-sin yaron se khelun

lekin kya kar sakta hun
din bhar kaam pe rahta hun

kis se dil ki baat kahun
kab tak main khud pe roun

haalat se majbur hun main
aur bachcha mazdur hun main

kash koi mujh ko samjhe
mujh se na bachpan chhine
