aao izza suno kahani
jab bachchi thin

tumhaari nani
un ki hatheli par chhota sa chamakta sikka

rakhte the inam mein abba
jhat se aa kar mutthi band kiya karti thin ammi

mitti ki gullak bhayya le kar aate the
chhan-chhan karte bahut se sikke

gullak mein bharte jate the
baji utha kar wazn bata tin

dil khushiyon se pagal hota
kya karna hai in paison se

samajh na aata
phir ammi ne ye sikhlaya

sab se achchhi dost tumhaari
ban ke rahengi kitaben sari

in paison se wahi kharido
ammi bhayya baji abba

jab na honge pas tumhaare
kabhi udas aur tanha jab ho

inhin kitabon mein phir tum ko
sare rishte mil jaenge

hath pakad kar un ka chalna
gum kabhi tum ko na hone dengi

in se dukh-sukh kahna sunna
rasta tum ko batlaengi

jab ho chaaron taraf andhera
raushni tum ko dikhlaengi

pyar se in ko saint ke rakhna
ye hi hongi sachchi sathi

harf harf se lafz banati
tumhaari fikr ki khali gullak

khan-khan kar ke bharti rahegi
aisa khazana ata karegi

kabhi kisi ki thokar se tum
bikhar sako na tut sakogi

balki aisi gullak
ban jaogi

jitna banto utna bharogi
