wo galiyon mein barish wo gulnar chehre
tamannaon ke wo bhanwar gahre gahre

bhari dhup mein wo patangen pakadna
wo baaton hi baaton mein ladna jhagadna

koi kash mujh par ye ehsan kar de
ki bachpan ke kuchh pal mere nam kar de

main ab us purane mohalle mein ja kar
khuda se ye fariyaad karne laga hun

main bachpan tujhe yaad karne laga hun
wo aangan mein lahraate sawan ke jhule

rahe yaad har dam kabhi hum na bhule
wo gudde wo gudiya wo pyare khilaune

wo nannhi si aankhon ke sapne salone
na aage ki chinta na pichhe ke gham the

na thi fikr koi na ranj-o-alam the
palat kar suhane palon ke safon ko

main dil ko phir aabaad karne laga hun
main bachpan tujhe yaad karne laga hun

kabhi nange pairon se galiyon mein jaana
wo barish ke pani mein kashti chalana

wo khwabon khayalon mein pariyon ki baaten
wo holi ke din wo diwali ki raaten

wo jab sath duniya ke bandhan nahin the
wo pal khub-surat the wo din hasin the

wo lamhe wo yaaden saja kar ke yaro
ye nashad dil shad karne laga hun

main bachpan tujhe yaad karne laga hun
