Jaagte hee agar baarish
khushi ki lehar aaisee
armaanon ki jaise koi saazish
masti chaayee aisee.

Jhama jhum ho ya phuaar
saara din hoye to khil jaate
school main chutti ho jaana ek bahaar
ghar ki waapsi mazay laate.

Chapa chhup chapa chhup
baarish main chalte
yeh koi nhi thi gupp
masoom dil thay machalte.

Meindhak ki tartarrahut
uchlte to unka peecha karna
jaise hon dost paas pare thi ghabrahut
ghanton unse khelna bus yahi kaam tha karna.

Woh kaagaz ki naanv
tairti bheegte bheegte
behti jaati aisa tha bahaav
rukna na rukna na cheekhte.

Pakodon ke sang garma garam samosey
khaali aur bhare peiton ko lubhaate
nahaane ke baad thay uske bharosey
sardi zukaam se yahi bhagaate.

Kaali bheegi mehakti raatein
woh dubbak ke baithna
meetha waqt aur keetabein
uff patton pe paani ka girna.

Khoobsoorat lamhein woh
raat ka japna ke baarish phir ho
khel aur sharaarton ka moh
dua ke har bachpan aisa ho.
