ye un dinon ki baat hai
jab ghar ke ek kamre mein

dukh aur malal mandli saja ke baitha karte
aur masrufiyat bahane bahane se wahan

tak-jhank karti
dusre kamre mein

dilon mein naqab lagane ke sab mansube
aapas mein baith kar tash khela karte

aur main har thodi der ba'd
tumhaari aadaten dhundne

store ke chakkar katta rahta
nind khuntiyon par tangi rahti aur

shadid garmi mein bhi
tumhaari yaad odh ke letna padta

bahar gali mein khelti hui khushiyon ka shor
us waqt aur bhi bura lagta

jab koi aarzu diwar phalang kar
sahn mein aa girti aur main

sone ki adakari karte karte
sach-much so jata
