kashshu rani

kashshu rani kashshu rani
karti ho apni man-mani
ek ek baat pe zid karti ho
karti ho kyon na-farmani


sara sabaq to rat leti ho
jaise hai ye koi kahani
samajh-bujh kar padhna sikho
chhodo ab apni nadani


apna kaam waqt par karna
achchhe bachchon ki hai nishani
mel-jol se rahna achchha
lab par lana mithi bani


achchhi nazm kahin bhi sun lo
kar lo us ko yaad zabani
saf aur suthra rahna sikho
gande rahna hai nadani


apni kitabon ko mat phado
ho jaen kitni bhi purani
'ilm sikhna farz hai sun lo
'ilm se jati hai nadani


khana daen hath se khao
tin sans mein pina pani
aapas mein mil-jul kar rahna
bair na rakhna kisi se jaani


baat badon ki jis ne mani
sach puchho to wahi hai gyani
