bas itna sochta rahta hun

ek pyara bachcha main bhi hun
aankhon ka tara main bhi hun
mere ham-joli aur ham-umr
jab ilm ki rah par chalte hain


to aise pyare lamhon mein
kyon mere chhote hathon mein
koi waraq nahin koi lafz nahin
auzar hain bas sab lohe ke


kyon mere kapde gande hain
kyon barson se ye aise hain
main khud bhi to ek phul hun
nan


phir phulon ko kyon bechta hun
main sahab ke nae booton par
kyon subh polish pherta hun
gar aisa karna na chahun


kyon mujh par hath phir uthta hai
kyon bagh ka har ek kanta hi
mere pairon mein chubhta hai
phulon jaisa to main bhi hun


taron jaisa to main bhi hun
ai rab teri is dharti par
chanda jaisa to main bhi hun
bas itna puchhna chahta hun


bas itna sochta rahta hun
gar sab bachchon jaisa hun main
to bachcha kyon nahin lagta hun
